I'll do you one better...we'd use the internet together. Probably the inspiration for that well-known NCIS hacker-fight scene, except one of us would be on the mouse and the other on the keyboard.
I hope I just unlocked a core memory for a few more lemmings.
Shit, I remember when our public library got some fancy new computers with an internet connection which was super high tech at the time. Two of my buddies and I rode our bikes down there and we couldn't believe how cool this new thing called a "chatroom" was. Like... there were other people on there just talking to each other, long distance, mind you, and FOR FREE?!?!?!
I first learned about the Internet reading about it in the encyclopedia. We had CompuServe and I would chat and play Neverwinter Nights (not the Bioware game).
10? I guess if "Compuserve over slow dial-up" counts as "the information superhighway", then sure. Web browsers almost certainly weren't a thing yet. Hypertext had more-or-less just been invented.
