I think he was referring to the internet as the World Wide Web specifically (the two words have the same meaning now but it wasn't always the case). Which unless I am mistaken (its been a while since I learned this) was created back in '89 by Tim Berners-Lee and not Al Gore no matter what he tells you lol.

I'm not entirely sure when the first time I utilized non-web based computer communications but I know it involved a BBS =) I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people who were using similar stuff long before I was either way.

Technically I predated the internet, as it was called the arpanet when I started back in the late 80s which then became the internet, but the internet still predated the web brosers by a few years.

If you talk BBS, and dialup modems, etc...  it goes back a few years more to early 80s for me.
