I remember owning a book around this time that listed 100 kid-friendly and “cool” websites to visit lol. Literally a printed book full of web addresses with little descriptions.
The internet of this era was awesome — at least as a kid, it was geared towards learning versus just buying crap. A couple years later, we were all writing everything on live journal and making “penpals” with people all over the world..it was seriously magical. I’m skipping some of the dark stuff that I sought out on purpose (a/s/l ??) while way too young, but overall it was just like having all the encyclopedias open at once.
