I'm sure it's a normal distribution with a pretty amazing skew for late 30s to mid 40s and a high peak.
10? I guess if "Compuserve over slow dial-up" counts as "the information superhighway", then sure. Web browsers almost certainly weren't a thing yet. Hypertext had more-or-less just been invented.

Did you kinda know beforehand that it's something you're interested in? (If it is, but I'm taking a "wild" guess here that you are, seeing as we're on Lemmy).
Didn't have one till I was 15, and that was pretty late compared to most other families we knew (around 2005).

We didnt have one so it was just a fancy beer coaster until aol came along
I remember there was this claymation loop site where it was people and animals pooping over and over
