Comment on Five Open Questions in Emailparent

Comments

that email wasn't web based was it? thats changed. (unless it was ;)

good point though

We're talking 1986 here. That email was based on the command-line, but we did have IM: it was called talk. And we had anonymous peer-to-peer file sharing using FTP. And we had discussion forums using Usenet.

We didn't have Facebook, but we didn't need it. I knew everyone who was using the Internet :-)
