You could log on with your 300 baud modem to connect to them. All text based. Usenet was conceived in 1979 and publicly established in 1980, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University, over a decade before the World Wide Web went online (and thus before the general public received access to the Internet), making it one of the oldest computer network communications ... ARPANET adopted TCP/IP on January 1, 1983, and from there researchers began to assemble the €śnetwork of networks€ť that became the modern Internet. The online world then took on a more recognizable form in 1990, when computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989, while working at CERN. The web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world. |

Who would have guessed that unboxing stuff and whispering videos would be a thing? OTOH, it wasn't that long ago that we were doing all kinds of weird shit. No matter, it's all out our hands now and we can't do nothing about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sluyEEuRgs |

Some for free and many for extra charge on your next >monthly bill. I used it for one year then quit. Could be. AFAIK Australia only had BBS and then Internet. I had a housemates and some friends with computers, using BBSs. I couldn't see much benefit from it back then - seemed to be more an exercise in frustration (and huge phone bills) than anything else. I'd just use their computers and that was enough for me. The Internet was another matter entirely. |
