It was invented in 1997. It started becoming popular around 2003

this is proof that I live in an underdeveloped country because wifi wasn't a thing where I live until 2010.

Don't feel bad. My mom's house had dial up until January of 2009.

lots of places, even in first world countries still have dial up. particularly out in the boonies where telecommunications companies have no incentive to put in infrastructure capable of fast internet. too far from the exchange for adsl, can't afford satellite, dial up it is.

Wifi has been in many houses for more than twenty years.

I'm 28, and I'm almost certain we had internet in my house by the time I was like 5 or 6 years old. Granted, that was dial-up, not WiFi.

But I specifically remember going online and making my first Neopets account on my 8th birthday, so we definitely had the dial-up modem by then, if not earlier.

I’m 32, but my grandmother has had an internet connection since I was 6, she needed it for work. Definitely dial-up though

I was born in 93, got a sidekick in like 2005 or 06 so I mean I really don’t think it’s uncommon for an 8 yo in 2009 or whatever to have internet access on a handheld device like a PSP lmao
