I wish we’d refer to early internet era as something other than the 1900s. WWW ostensibly started in 95. Maybe we just call it “The 90s” and be good with it?
When we start referring to the “turn of the century” as the early 2000s, I may just outright die.
Eh, WWW started in '91. What milestone happened in '95? Only thing I can think of is Windows 95, but that was a general computer thing, not an Internet thing.
As for early Internet era…to me that’s the mid to late 70s up through '91. TCP/IP dates back to '74, so that’s a workable starting point (or maybe ARPANET, ha).

Oh feel you. Saying 1900s for the whole century feels wrong but why tho? We do it for other centuries as well so maybe it’s time to get used to it.

That’s already part of becoming mainstream. I use “internet” in the broader sense that includes other technology I’m not really familiar with. But some precursors of the internet were around in the 70s and maybe even earlier? Donno, I’m second wave myself. Sorry if my terminology is confusion and not correct.

I used the phrase “turn of the millennium”. Sorry if old people thought I meant 1000 CE.
