we now take it for granted, but imagine the shock of someone who experienced online chat for the first time back in the days

My back and neck hurt all week after I first got connected to the Internet. I chatted so much.

Bruh want to report a person who sent me some links and a discord channel and was offering a job !

Makes me think of my early days on AIM… it was magic. ↑

I think about the first telegraph transmission that happened in England in 1800-something

The first time in human history you had access to instant communication

The first time you could know exactly how the weather was 20 miles away right now

I remember it vividly, using IRC circa 1993 or 1994

It was mostly a shock for me to witness non-programmed content show up on my computer — I thought, wow, somebody unknown to me is actually controlling in real time what I see on my screen!

Until then everything was local and predictable

Oh I was there
BBS and than IRC, jabber …
