In 1995 less then 40 million people were on the internet. You could order your favorite hot sauce from HotHotHot, and order pizza from Pizza Hut( If you happened to live in Santa Cruz, California U.S.A.).

Internet used by 3.2 billion people in 2015

I first used the internet in 1994 and it was terrible. There was literally nothing of value on it.

Its better now

IRC 1989
University localised usenets before that.

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

IRC in 1990

I remember being amazed that you could chat it up with hundreds of people.
