    2005 was essentially the 90s. People were still talking about the matrix, playing n64 and ps1, barely anyone had a mobile phone and most internet connections were still dial up.

        That was 2006. Youtube came out december 15th 2005. Facebook became available to general public in september 2006.

        Look, hsres a graph

        2005 was roughly the end of the internet dark ages, but it was barely different to the 90s.

          the end of the Internet dark ages

          That seems like a strangely backwards way to word it in my mind. Thats around the time the Internet stopped being “the internet” to me.

            I see what you mean. Yeah, the internet was a better place back then.

            I was coming from more of a stance of the tech behind the internet.

            When someone could ruin my game of ultima online by picking up the phone.

            When niche message boards existed and msn messenger was how i spoke to my friends.
