So typing a URL into a browser is today's opening a terminal to type a command, got it.
I was a teen through the 90s, and had a small consulting/computer sales business in my 20s while it was still common for home PCs to be built from components, which exposed me to a decent cross-section of computer-using society (in IL) at the time. This was the early days for the Pentium class machines and Windows 95 was all the rage.
Back then most adults didn't know how to use a computer either. The moment a terminal was required to get something done, eyes glazed over. If they couldn't simply point and click on something, it wasn't happening.
