How many of u on SW remember when there was no internet ?

Well it wasnt allowed to the general public that is. I understand that NASA had it back in the 70s and communicating like we are today back then. But anyway, how many of you people here remember when we did not have the internet or email. During the 80's and 90's there was no social online media. There was no Facebook. There was no Instagram crap. And no Yahoo or Gmail.
How many of you remember. 🙂

What Nasa had wasn't the Internet we now have. That's all due to the structure and protocols Tim Berners-Lee came up with whilst at Cern in the 80s.

I remember using DECTalk a chat program in the early 80s whilst I worked in banking. I'd use it to talk to the office while in site. That was the start for me. Then opera and netscape navigator.
