15m People Using The Internet in 1993

February 26th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

I just watched an amazingTV report from 1993 on the growing use of the internet.  I wonder if back then they could ever imagine how big the interent would grow.  For instance in the video one guy said that he could talk to:

150 or 1000 jocks around the world who want to talk about football

I wonder if he comprehend the millions of sites we have today, each having thousands of visitors each day.

I found the section on emoticons interesting.  Did you know that :-( originally meant ‘I’m serious’?
