In 1994, when I first got connected using 2.4Kbps modem, I learned to get the information I needed using Webcrawler (Google did not exist then) and since my modem is toooo slow, I learned to use Lynx, the textbased surfer. I even used email to surf then, getting images, freewares and sharewares.
A couple of years later, with a 14.4Kbps modem, I saw the internet with Netscape Navigator, along with several websites that sell, oftentimes with an MLM system. It was also then that I used the internet to learn more about Amway, which I was invited to join into…thanks to the internet I made an informed decision: not to join.
Now, almost everything, if not all, can be bought over the internet. Items you cannot find in your local store are online, even industrial hand wheels. You save gas mileage when you buy from the internet too.
