I remember when the internet was touted as the world's best tool for education, but since nobody forced that to happen it became the worlds largest toy

I was first introduced to the internet in 1993 using the Mosaic Browser running on Mac OS 7. I then graduated to Netscape Navigator 1.0. It was an exciting time and everyone was totally jazzed by the promise of the internet going forward. Much of the early content was from graduate students and people like me and my friends building early web sites hand coding HTML. At that time there was no such thing as malware or viruses. There was no such thing as SPAM. There were not really any commercial web sites to speak of except for a guy who was selling 100 varieties of hot sauce out of a closet sized store front in San Francisco. I remember he was shocked when he sold out his inventory so fast he couldn't believe it and had to rent warehouse space and hire an employee. Things started to take off like gangbusters and there was a land grab for domain names. Now we have a toxic cess pool.
