internet then and now.

Internet has changed dramatically in the past 15 years, internet used to be expensive and only the richer people could afford it, but now it is extremely rare for a household not to have internet access. The internet we know now used to be extremely basic, and did not have nearly as many designs as the new web pages now have, and they also took a lot more time to load because broadband was not around.  However, this was not a big deal at the time because people mostly used the internet for research and work purposes, while now it is used mainly for communication and online games.  Internet explorer was the main browser in 96, but now we use google chrome, or mozilla firefox most of the time. Even though we didnt have myspace or facebook in the 90s, there was still email or instant messaging in 1996, which was the prefered communication.
