Went thru the same shit with Bush 20 years ago.

First time accessing the internet would probably be 1992 or 1993 from the local school library. Before then, I used local bulletin board systems via modem to play games, send messages, download warez, etc. as a young kid. The sense of freedom and liberation between those technologies was amazing. Around the same time, the school system transitioned to a digital card catalog system and some of the librarians were absolutely furious that the card catalog they knew and loved was going away.

Yes! Web rings!

I was there. People carried physical notepads with URLs, shared them on BBS', or other forums. It was wild.
