Does anyone remember using the internet (world wide web) before the first internet browser was released (Netscape - Mosaic)?

I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, but a friend of mine has a Facebook account and has had it since 2010. He is a working artist and it helped him feel a sense of connection for a while. Lately, he's been saying he tries to stay off of the thing because of all the 'political bickering' going on. I suggested he just use it to promote his work. He's considering that.

I have a theory that eventually the internet will be broken up and end up similar to TV.
You'll have your free content and then have to pay on a scale to access more.
Or maybe not ...I love speculating about the future of technology. @Johnnythefox, I wonder who is out there in the 'ether' conspiring right this minute on how to 'capitalize' on this idea. Probably some computer science major at Harvard (chuckle).I didn't use Internet when it was just FTP. I did get Internet back in the early 2000s/late 90s. I do agree that was the golden age of the Internet, around the early to mid 2000s. Now the internet is just a bunch of political stuff and people being the biggest assholes around. I think smart phones is what really made the Internet into the shit show it is today. I think the internet would be much different had you still only been able to really use the internet with just a desktop or laptop. I wonder what would happen if Internet was disabled on smart phones?
