Everything is a jumble now. I remember when the internet didn’t have a GUI interface. There were all these alt.net newsgroups you could go to and hang out with people who shared your interests, like pornographic photos. There were a lot of photography nuts out there.
I remember when it was starting to get to a GUI interface. It was not easy to get it going because you had to download all these patches that allowed your computer to talk to the www. Then, I think it was Netscape that came out with the first great interface for the internet. Are they still around?
Then Microsoft finally realized how important the internet was going to be and they bundled IE with the next version of windows, and then you couldn’t get rid of it. You had to have it or your computer wouldn’t work. You could still load Netscape, but eventually, it seemed like you could no longer avoid IE.
Then Firefox came along, and Chrome and a number of others, and now there is actual competition with your browser.
Ok. So no one showed me the internet. I showed myself. Then I showed others. Now I do my best to keep up. Some things work for me (Fluther) and somethings don’t (Facebook). Some things use to work for me and now don’t (the alt.net newsgroups). It is an evolving thing.
