Did You See The 'Internet' Becoming As Big As It Has?

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

My mom worked in the post office so we saw this shyt coming early-mid 90s. Email alone revolutionized shyt and made the post office workers start fearing for jobs.

On another note as I reflect, it also exposed a lot of pedos. I think back to some uncles and bros who were always checking search histories and getting mad when I looked whitehouse.com or playboy pics but later on 10-15 years later they all get caught up in child sex scandals.

I still remember MSDOS computers with the black and green screen and laptops that come in briefcases and you was the shyt if you had the printer that had the lines of holes on both sides

I've been internetting in some form since the late 80's and I can honestly tell you that nobody really saw it becoming what it is today, with 80% of Americans having their faces plastered in their phone all day. I don't think anyone really saw that coming in the 90's.

from the very 1st time I logged on and was talkin to folks across the world the communication aspect has always been the dopest part to me

but I can't forget when I was visiting those dbz sites back in the day to get an accurate read of Goku's power levels once he went SSJ

 

[Mr. Negative]

I really didn't.

but I grew up in a technological anti-bubble. I had no way of knowing the world was adapting the way it was. I just knew I could read or see new shyt by typing it into AOL and hoping the phone didn't ring.

When I got to a somewhat civilized world..... I dunno. You get so focused on doing what you want with the internet that you lose track of how it's growing. It's like I didn't even start seeing it like that until cats was like "I made 200k off google ads this month" "oh shyt you see these flash cookies!?"

By then it was too late.

Me and my nephews would print them joints out and have battles based on those power levels. We would go to the library back in the day and look at nothing but dbz. I even had a dbz angelfire fan page back in the day

 

[YaFingerDealMe]

Nah they used to make it seem like it was just for geeks and online dating growing up. I probably wouldn’t care for the internet without google

 

[Liquid]

Yes, it was immediately apparent where things were going.
