The Internet was so much better in the 90s.

It was slower, the graphics were basic, and we could get knocked offline by someone picking up a telephone. But damn, it really felt like reaching out and touching the world for the first time. It took so long for my mom to understand that yes, I can be chatting with friends online at 2am. She would always ask, "Why aren't they asleep?" and I'd have to remind her that other time zones exist.
