Yes younglings, I remember a time when the internet didn’t exist!
Depends on what date you pick to assign to the birth of the internet… RFC 675? Then I am younger, but not by much.
If we listen to Google’s AI, “the internet officially began on January 1, 1983, when ARPANET officially adopted the TCP/IP standard” than I am significantly older than the internet.
It’s the precursor. TCP/IP adoption isn’t a bad place to consider what is the internet. I think adoption/invention of WorldwideWeb is too late though I could agree to use it as the beginning of what most people think of what started the internet we see today.
I think somewhere in the 80s is accurate, however it doesn’t really matter as the internet wasn’t suddenly everywhere. It took a LOT of time to reach a lot of places so one can remember what the world was like without the internet, even if it was already around at that time.
I remember when most people didn’t have a computer let alone access to a modem of some kind.
120 is my goal. I want to be able to say i can remember the 1900s, 2000s and see what 2100 looks like.
Ain’t doing it without scientific help, but there is very very small chance I could get there.

I don’t consider the ARPANET stuff the internet.
