“Mom, don’t pick up the phone! I am using the Internet!”

People use the telephone line to connect the Internet in the 1990s, and people proudly used AOL email addresses, mySpace accounts, and Angelfire webpages.

Time goes by quickly. Many 1990s web pages do not exist anymore. However, some of these retro gems remain online yet have not been updated over decades. This article features a selection of these gems from the early days of the Internet.
