The very first time I saw the idea of ordering something online, was when Sandra Bullock ordered pizza online in the 1995 movie The Net. I was just floored, like I couldn't grasp exactly how such a thing would work and how it could really be possible.
- perl4ever 9y agoThe web was just getting started, but there were lots of online services already, like Compuserve, AOL, Prodigy, etc. so I kind of think people were ordering stuff online before websites existed - although my memory is hazy. Also, there were things in other countries besides the US - Minitel for instance?
- reaperducer 9y agoI was on AOL, and its predecessor Quantum Link. I also did CompuServe before that. About the only thing you could buy online were plane tickets. You could reserve a hotel online, but it still went through a travel agent's hands.
