WOW! 1985? I didn't even have internet access until 1992 and that was a text based SLIP account through my BBS. What was I using in 1985, a TI99/4a?

But it took still several years before www started, and again a couple of years before we got graphical UI's, web browsers capable to show graphics. Web as we know it today was born when Mosaic and similar browsers were published 1993.
