90s guide to using the internet.

In 1928, Soviet peasants listened to the radio for the first time.

In 1887, German physicist Heinrich Hertz proved the existence of radio waves and famously stated, "it's of no use whatsoever." When asked about the potential application of his discovery, he simply replied, "nothing, I guess."

Just a few years later, in the late 1890s, Italian engineer Guglielmo Marconi invented the radio and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1909.

Today, radio waves are used in almost all modern communication devices: televisions, GPS, mobile phones, computers, radios, radars, and satellites.

If society today did not utilize radio waves, it would be a very different world. There would be no off-the-air TV, only cable TV. Accessing Wi-Fi at your favorite coffee shop would not be possible because Wi-Fi would not exist. The only way to get on the Internet would be by using an Ethernet cable. In fact, all communication devices would have to be wired, so no one would be carrying around mobile phones. Apple would not be the company that it is today. Space exploration would be non-existent, as all communication outside Earth is done wirelessly

Kids today will never understand the struggle of connecting to the internet and especially when you were loading the page and someone called you on the landline 😅

Oh my I remember these days that’s telling my age I guess! But this is more in the early very early 90s where we connected to a modem through the phone line! Lol

In 1984, sending an email required access to a networked computer, such as those in universities or large corporations, and the use of a terminal or PC connected via dial-up modem.

Users had to navigate email software through command-line interfaces to compose and send text-onl
