As others have mentioned you are just writing your own history to suit your narrative. There is no evidence to support "People complained endlessly about the internet in the early to mid 90s,".
In the early and 1990s, people effectively did not use the internet. Usage was tiny and miniscule, limited to only tiny niche groups. People heard about the internet via the 90 second blurb on the evening new show. It wasn't until sometime after the launch of Facebook that the internet was even mainstream. So I really don't think people complained about the internet being slow that they weren't using.
I can go on here, but I don't really need to spend paragraphs refuting something that is obviously false.
- area51org 1y agoHaving lived in that era: no one "complained endlessly", or even at all, about the internet. It was seen as magical. When compared to not existing at all, being slow wasn't all that awful.
- skydhash 1y agoI remember using the internet around 2005 and you could hold a conversation while waiting for the page to load. No one complains, because you have a wealth of information at your fingertips. It was actually amazing to chat with someone anywhere in the world or to be able to browse some forums.
