Who can remember coming home from school and using dial up internet. At the time it was new and inventive but it was still a pain to have to sit around and wait while the internet dialed up. You couldn’t use the telephone while you were online and even though it totally sucked, looking back on it sometimes i’m nostalgic for those days of early internet when everything seemed so simple and exciting at the time, even though highly annoying as well.
Fun Fact: Yahoo! Messenger was originally called Yahoo! Pager.
If that's not the MOST 90s thing ever, then... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just imagine, being so in the 90s, that the idea of a virtual "Pager" seems like the best name for your online chat program.
Not my picture... but I miss Yahoo Chat so much! Especially the talk feature. Being able to press it and just say a few words, when I didn't want to type, was amazing.
Discord is great, but being able to jump into a room of strangers was pretty exciting and so 90s.
