the internet did not begin when you first started paying attention to it
True, although in my case, I’ve been paying attention to it since 1989. So I at least can say I was there when the web began.

I know I am. I started on the Internet playing MUDs over Telnet, chatting on IRC and posting on Usenet.
My “640k is good enough for anybody” quote in 1993: “This web thing is pretty cool, but it will never replace Gopher.”
