I lived through that time (was in high school and college). It was pretty neat to read about the Internet and web browsers in Newsweek, but we didn’t have it at home for a few years. Then it was just a 28.8 dial up connection that dropped randomly. It wasn’t until I got to university that I had a real broadband connection, and even that was slow compared to what I get on my phone today. Programming (for me) was mostly basic and a bit of C, although I never totally figured out pointers. By the time I got to university, we had early versions of Java and HTML. That time was fun, but right now is fun in different ways. The tools are much better. Computing is massively cheaper. Laptops weren’t nearly as good as desktops until the early 2000s. Also, you couldn’t do much with AI back then.
