The world in July 1992.

The internet was still a small, weird, academic-heavy network. This section keeps the retro flavor, but makes it feel more like an interactive museum exhibit.

▣

Windows 3.1 & CLI

Most users still lived around command lines. A 14.4k modem felt futuristic, and the modern consumer internet barely existed.

⌁

Web? Barely public

No Google, no Amazon, no social feeds. Search meant Archie, Gopher, FTP indexes, and early text-heavy web experiments.

♪

Cultural byte

SNES was hot, Aladdin was in theaters, and the internet was still something most people had never touched.
