Richard MacManusWhat was the internet like 30 years ago? I'm glad you asked. In 1995, Netscape went public and Microsoft noticed the internet — the browser wars began. Also that year, Amazon and eBay launched, JavaScript and PHP debuted, and the web went mainstream. <a href="https://cybercultural.com/p/internet-1995/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cybercultural.com/p/internet-1995/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InternetHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InternetHistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/1995Nostalgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#1995Nostalgia</a>

Richard MacManusYou may not be familiar with the name Alice Mary Hilton, but I'd argue she's just as significant as Marshall McLuhan in the history of cyberculture theory. In fact, she invented the word "cyberculture"! What's more, her 1960s focus on the practical impacts of computer automation on society is more important than ever in 2025, with the rise of AI. I'm quite proud of this post, so I hope you click through to learn more about this super-smart lady. <a href="https://cybercultural.com/p/cyberculture-alice-mary-hilton/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cybercultural.com/p/cyberculture-alice-mary-hilton/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InternetHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InternetHistory</a>

Richard MacManusThree Hollywood movies were released in 1995 with internet themes: the Keanu Reeves cyberpunk film Johnny Mnemonic (with an accompanying website), The Net with Sandra Bullock, and Hackers. As well as these 3 films, I look back at William Gibson's now extinct mid-90s website, "William Gibson’s Yardshow", and the equally lost to time Johnny Mnemonic net.hunt, an online scavenger hunt. <a href="https://cybercultural.com/p/cyberspace-movies-1995/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cybercultural.com/p/cyberspace-movies-1995/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InternetHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InternetHistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/90smovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#90smovies</a>

Tommi 🤯I got nostalgic, so I ended up browsing pictures from <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/DWebCamp2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DWebCamp2023</a>, and I found these wild shots of me and <a href="https://w3c.social/@timbl" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@timbl</a>. Almost two years have passed, and I still cannot completely believe that I spent time chatting with the creator of the <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/WorldWideWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorldWideWeb</a> and that he autographed <a href="https://tommi.space/csss/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">my thesis</a>!Unbelievable things happen at <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/DWebCamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DWebCamp</a>.(Thanks to <a href="https://social.coop/@mai" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mai</a> for the stolen shot 🌻)Fun fact: <a href="https://mastodon.archive.org/@mark" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mark</a> kindly came and picked me up at the airport and he drove me and TBL to DWeb Camp. The first thing they asked me about while getting to the car was this patch I had, simulating the hammer and sickle communist symbol, but actually representing a sickle popping open an Aperol Spritz. So there was me, super jet-lagged and hungover (because I had my last exam of my bachelor the day before) trying to explain what that was to the creator of <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/HTML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HTML</a> and the director of the <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/WaybackMachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaybackMachine</a>.

Stefan Bohacek"The key to [Beverly Hills Internet]'s initial growth over 1995 was helping people who had no technical knowledge of HTML to build a web page on the internet.

Richard MacManusIn this week's Cybercultural post, I look back on Tumblr in 2012. In particular, I explore how the gifset — a collection of animated gifs — came to epitomize Tumblr's quirky appeal and helped redefine blogging. (note: I fired up my YouTube a/c for this post, recording 4 video screencasts to illustrate some beautiful 2012 gifsets) <a href="https://cybercultural.com/p/tumblr-2012/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cybercultural.com/p/tumblr-2012/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InternetHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InternetHistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Tumblr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tumblr</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gifsets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gifsets</a>

Richard MacManusThis week on Cybercultural I continue my look back at 1994 in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InternetHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InternetHistory</a>. I delve into how Netscape Navigator brought multimedia to the web, what it took to move the industry beyond the "internet in a box" paradigm, and why it was time for the ROMbloids to move aside and make way for the Webuloids! <a href="https://cybercultural.com/p/netscape-1994/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cybercultural.com/p/netscape-1994/</a>

fraggleTim Berners-Lee created the first website info.cern.ch at CERN in 1990. It was a simple page explaining what the World Wide Web was and how to set up a web server. Along with it, he also built WorldWideWeb (renamed Nexus), the first-ever web browser, which only ran on NeXT computers. This is not to be confused with the "World Wide Web" aka: the internet, which seems to be a common mistake. Unfortunately the browser is no longer available that I have found.The second browser? That was Line Mode Browser, released in 1992. Unlike WorldWideWeb, it could run on multiple operating systems and was the first browser many people used to access the web. You can still get the source code for Line Mode Browser, or launch the simulator line-mode.cern.chThe internet was never the same again.<a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/cern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CERN</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/worldwideweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorldWideWeb</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/internethistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InternetHistory</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/nexus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nexus</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/linemodebrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LineModeBrowser</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/weliveinasimulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeLiveInASimulation</a>

Richard MacManusI wrote in a previous post that 2012 was the year that Web 2.0 quietly died...but it was also when a new kind of internet was born: a more mobile and visual one, with images and videos leading the way. Take a trip with me back to 2012, when YouTube "creators" started to be more popular than mere bloggers, when Facebook acquired Instagram, when Pinterest was a fast-growing social network, and when "picture subreddits" were all the rage. <a href="https://cybercultural.com/p/internet-2012/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cybercultural.com/p/internet-2012/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InternetHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InternetHistory</a>

Richard MacManusOne of my all-time favorite artists is Lana Del Rey, and in this week's Cybercultural I chronicle her breakthrough year of 2011 — and how YouTube and social media were pivotal to her rise. 2011 was when Lana achieved "internet fame", which eventually led to a far greater level of fame. <a href="https://cybercultural.com/p/lana-del-rey-youtube-2011/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cybercultural.com/p/lana-del-rey-youtube-2011/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InternetHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InternetHistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LanaDelRey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LanaDelRey</a>

Richard MacManusDuring my trip to SXSW in March 2011, I catch up with a couple of ReadWriteWeb writers — one of them quite angry.
