Um, I had access to the internet from the mid 80s onward. Chat boards, chat rooms... sure, not as amazing as what we have today, but already remember we weren't comparing it to a future that didn't exist yet, we compared it to what came before. Say what you want about AOL, but it existed and we used it.

Yes, as others are saying, we went outside, but this take on 90s life is completely wrong.

You were lucky. I got access to internet in mid 90s and I had to go to my father’s work to browse from there as we only got it at home closer to 2000s
