Tales from the days of early internet? A hoax you believed before you realized everything on the internet is a lie? Those spam/chain emails about sending something to ten people before the ghost of some young girl will come out of your bathroom mirror and eat off your eyelids? AIM?
"My mother just called me. She had ordered some flowers from a small local store, to be delivered and dropped on the porch. When they brought the flowers, they said, "Hang on, we have something for you." The driver went back to the truck and proceeded to bring out..."
Read that Bloomberg article on Wuhan re-opening... man, things are NEVER going to be the same again, unless there's a 100% effective vaccine, and even then, I wonder.
When I was doing research for my advanced degree the Internet was exploding with new search engines - gopher.net, lycos, alta vista, infoseek, excite, and yahoo (yet another officious oracle). Pick and choose which one to use. In '98 I co-founded a software company (sold in 2001) the same year google started operations. In 2000 in my 2nd start up our offices were on Brannan street across from infoseek. It later was shuttered and all of the search engines faded except for google. Yeah, the early internet was a fun ride.
