I Remember Life Before the Internet

I remember the first time I think I ever actually came into contact with the whole "internet" thing as something other than just a buzzword. In year 1 we were meant to do a project on the Romans, and I had gone to the library scouting out various books on them in order to do the research because we didn't have a computer.
Then, on the day of the hand-in, the teacher ended up having a loud and fairly easy to overhear conversation with one of the other students. Said student had blatantly printed off an entire Wikipedia page, including the hyperlinks, and had been banking on the idea that nobody could possibly notice that it read like it was written by someone three times his age (or notice the hyperlinks, or know what the internet, Wikipedia was).
To be fair, the chances of anyone knowing what Wikipedia was was quite slim really. It'd only been running a few months at the time.
And that, folks, is the first time I saw the world wide web.
