To the people who were alive and aware when the internet first came out, how was it?

I’m wondering how people reacted when the internet first came out. If you were alive and aware, how did you react? How did you use it at first and how did you get used to it? How was it any different to the way you use it today?
What do you think the internet has changed in society? Did you like it better in the good old days where the only contact was face-to-face?
How revolutionary was it?
