In 2003, the World Wide Web was still in its infancy. Dial-up connections were still the default and YouTube, Facebook, and Gmail had yet to be invented.

I'd argue it had reached its prime. Websites were just websites then, not data harvesting machines.

Yea, infancy? Been using it for at least 6 years by then, it's hardly infancy.

Were dial-up connections default still? I had been on cable for two years by then.
