Tell me about the dark ages!

Instead of a webpage, you had a whole shelf of books laid out in more or less the same fashion as Wikipedia.
Fun fact: I learned about the Internet from the encyclopedia and begged my parents to get online. I used to just read those things like regular books. I only learned recently that when I first went online in 1993, the World Wide Web was literally only months old.
