I mean at a tech-level roughly like the 70s and 80s before the internet (or more accurately, the "web") became mainstream.

We didn't have computers as we think of them now until mid to late 80s. Late 90s is when the 'WWW' really started becoming a thing. "Cool site of the day" was probably relevant until close to the year 2000.
