NO Surprise! It was 1992 that I firstly subsribed internet services from pacific internet (formerly called SuperNet).
At that moment, we were using 2.8K modem to surf on the net. I loved using Terminal to telnet to all those private BBS and read those newsgroups.
Not until I joined HK Telecom in 1996, we started to use 33.6K modem. I remembered I had to use a textpad to key in all those HTML tags manually. My stupid colleague always typed in wrong tags and cried for help. Ha ha ... I had to make every graphics carefully so that our "metagateway" (main content) would not be too slow for browsing. So funny.
Before long, short-lived 56K was born just before the introduction of 1.5Mps. Then, we had iTV, broadband video portal ... all just omens betided a blast of IT boom.
Web 1.0 was a tragedy. Web 2.0 was an interlude. How about Web 3.0? Would it be a soap opera? Where will I be at that moment?
