I remember when Netscape came out and my friends Dad had a dial up modem. Around 1997 I taught myself HTML (something I now use on Steemit) after school and started using Fortunecity to host my own 'web pages'. I used Flash 3 before the Shockwave player spawned YouTube and remember the WorldWideWeb before Google came along and ate everything.
