The first website went online in 1991 at a physics laboratory in Switzerland: pages of text with links to other pages. Browsers that showed pictures inside the page arrived in 1993, and within a few years millions of people were making pages of their own.
Everything waited on the modem. At 28.8 kilobits a second, a 100-kilobyte picture took about half a minute, so images were sent so that a rough version appeared first and sharpened as the rest arrived.
Home pages had a style of their own: a grey background, blue underlined links that turned purple once visited, a counter of visitors, a guestbook, and a sign saying the page was under construction.
Being online also meant the phone line was busy. Anyone calling the house got the engaged tone until you logged off.
