Its never been easier to get free software, and if anyone is telling you the internet used to be easier to parse then they were not there in the beginning.

Gopher sites were great for finding information, if the information was actually there. The tree structure made drilling down to what you needed very straightforward. Mind you, the internet was also small enough that I had downloaded and pribted a book that listed every site and a short description of what it contained.
