You’re kidding, right?

Even the WORLD WIDE WEB was available in 1993.

As for “the Internet”, CompuServ, Prodigy and AOL were all already active, though very little of your time would be spent outside their walled gardens because most websites were still academic.

Back then, there wasn’t as much information available on the internet. The structure was there, but the data wasn’t. Even today, it may not be possible to track down quotes from lesser known historical figures, or even obscure quotes from celebrities of prior generations. Not every work, letter, essay from prior generations is available online.
