2009? It's really essentially the same, all the major players were thriving then too. Try 1999. The wild west man. Computer people back then were like wizards. No web 2.0, things were less interactive. Also, just about everyone using it then was of more intelligence. Nowadays every regular jackoff uses it and thinks they're smart too.

I remember you had to surf the web from a dos prompt, gopher or something can't quite remember. You could find some reliable information then and not all the BS that's out there now.
