I’m new to the internet. Only got access to it 3 years ago. Didn’t own a smartphone until last year. I’m curious how it was for people who discovered it earlier.

Somewhere around 1987, I had my computer modem call my university library’s phone number directly so that I could see if the book that I needed was available (it was a long walk to the library). My computer acted as a terminal and the screen displayed everything pretty much the same as the terminals installed in the library itself (text only, monochrome display). Not really the internet, but probably the first practical use of a network of sorts for me.
