I'm a 2000s child and did this
I built my first website without access to internet. Just locally for me and my friends.
the House Wide Page
I'm certainly normally aged.
As a kid, all of us nerds got our own computers eventually after much begging. (Commodore 64s and such.)
And occasionally, we had the magical moments when we got to visit the occasional person who had a big computer. (PC clones)
No information superhighways yet!
I think this was probably still a common thing for people in their 30s now, it wasn't that long ago
I remember going with my friend to his parents flat to play the OG Doom on their computer. Good times.
Same. Firing up Doom and Wolfenstein from the DOS command prompt at your friends house and everyone taking turns was definitely normal
Shit, I remember when our public library got some fancy new computers with an internet connection which was super high tech at the time. Two of my buddies and I rode our bikes down there and we couldn't believe how cool this new thing called a "chatroom" was. Like... there were other people on there just talking to each other, long distance, mind you, and FOR FREE?!?!?!
Be me, 6 or 7 years old, scrolling through BBS stuff for many hours, blissfully unaware of our ISP being long distance until my mom realized what was happening and totally freaked out
Old enough to remember a world without the internet.
I first learned about the Internet reading about it in the encyclopedia. We had CompuServe and I would chat and play Neverwinter Nights (not the Bioware game).
