    I'm 34 and I didn't get online until around 2000. I always considered the birth of the internet to be when Windows 95 came to light. But apparently it was much sooner than that but didn't really plant roots and go mainstream until the mid 90's. I wish I knew then what I know now! :) I don't ever remember seeing screens like the one they show in the video you posted.. Thank god we've moved along so well since those days!
