The Internet of 1996 is almost unrecognizable compared with what we have today.
It's 1996, and you're bored. What do you do? If
you're one of the lucky people with an AOL
account, you probably do the same thing you'd do
in 2009: Go online. Crank up your modem, wait 20
seconds as you log in, and there you
areĀ"Welcome." You check your mail, then spend a
ffew minutes chatting with your AOL buddies about
which of you has the funniest screen name (you
win, pimpodayear94). Then you load up Internet
Explorer, AOL's default Web browser. Now what?
