    Before browsers even existed, there already was the internet. We had social media (NNTP and IRQ), online multi-user games (MUD, et al.), browsing (Gopher) and file hosting (FTP).

    I was introduced to the web and the Arena browser with the words “It’s just like Gopher, but with hypertext.”

      Gopher is still around, there are even some web gateways to get into it.
