What year did the Internet become available for the general public? What kinds of webpages existed back then? Were there such a thing as search engines? Everything about that time interests me, so don't hold back, please.

THe internet was open to the public in i think 1993/4. There weren't search engines until '95(which was a lifesaver) the first search engine was AltaVista. it wasn't until about '98 that websites really started getting advanced and attractive. It was also really slow until about 2000.

I remember getting AOL bills as high as $300 because you had to pay by the minute. You could type all your emails and read all your emails while not being ön line"and then when you were don you dialed in and sent them. You could even set a how many times a day your computer would dial in and retrieve your emails while you were at work. Not much spam back then either
