    When we got our first family pc, everyone got their turn messing around on it. We had games, a microphone so you could talk on the phone, it was really cool, think 1998 pc. Anyways my mom starts asking my younger brother what he wants to do when it’s his turn. He just keep saying that he wants to “surf the net” over and over as that was a marketing point as commercials would always talk about surfing the web and he took this a literal thing thinking it was a surfing game of some sort. It was pretty funny when we tried to explain it to him that that’s not what it meant. I will say I felt kinda bad for him cause he was really looking forward to surfing the web

    I have this book around here somewhere. It’s charmingly positive, and I’d say it does a decent enough job of explaining what the internet is, considering when it came out.

      Power gloves are hard to come by, so the risk of going back in time is minimal
