@CordiallyChloe amen to that! I hit the literal end of the internet back in the mid-1990's! There were only 100K or so websites at the time, mostly text based! I remember war dialing on my dad's 300-baud modem to find BBS servers (pre-Intenet), and we got used to also getting kicked off when mom had to use the phone.

Remember when screens went from monochrome to 4-bit color? And we thought a 12in screen was huge!

Who remembers the Turbo button that doubled your computer's Front Side Bus from 33Hz to 66Hz? DX4-66 with Turbo ran at 133Hz?? 🤯

12in floppy's? 5-1/4in floppy's? 3-1/4in HD Floppy that can store 1.44MB!! "that's impossible to fill up!" 🤣

ZIP drives and SmartDrives.

Serial ports, IDE drives running at 33MBps, CD-ROM burners, and upgrades to Firewire.

Ahh, the good old days. 😎 Most people today have no clue! You are 100% on the mark here. The whole world has changed dramatically because of the Internet. It'll never be the same as it once was.
