    As someone who already lived in 2000, I can confirm this. It worked a bit differently and we called it “the internet” back then

      I thought you were going to say that you can confirm fucked his mother in 2000, and now he is 23 y.o.

      On more serious note, I think WiFi existed back then, and radio transmitters were too used (although limited) in internet backbone. So, the description is accurate.

        2000 is about the turning point when internet because mainstream; when people turned from “oh, you’re on the internet?” to “oh, your not on the internet?” Internet was quite new and WiFi wasn’t a thing, tho it might already existed somehow. Don’t know about radio transmitters in that context in that time.

        So I don’t know if it existed back then but I’m sure it wasn’t mainstream. But there were browser games and I think it was possible to play again each other.
