Remember what the Internet was like in the nineties?
You had to wait forever every time a picture was loading.
There'd be lots of pointless sites like "Janice's homepage" where people would post a picture of themselves and their family with some text like "Hi! I'm Janice Carter. I live in Phoenix, Arizona. I like to.." and so on, and it was never really clear who was supposed to visit those sites.
You had to ask someone if there was any important phonecall they were waiting for before you could connect to the 'net. And every time they wanted to call, you had to disconnect again.
You'd make sure to never meet someone you got to know on the web IRL. Never ever. At all.
Swedish newspaper Expressen, which is kind of like a Swedish The Sun without the page-three girls, had a headline saying "How to find the best erotic adresses on the Internet! IT expert Petra, 26, shares her hottest tips." They'd never have one like that now, partly because they couldn't get away with it now (and I don't know how they did it then, if they did) but also because the porn is so specialized. It's about finding a site specializing in your particular fetish nowadays.
Let's reminisce! Tell me about what the World Wide Web used to be like in the old days where adding the word "cyber" to a noun was not only done by your grandpa!
