I used Gopher (and Archie) pre 1991, when I spent a year in the military. During the spring of 1992, on a visit to my university, I saw an early version of a web browser (Mosaic, if I&#x27;m not misremembering things) and was completely blown away. I did like Gopher and used it a lot, but in my opinion it could not compete with the new web browser.<p>I haven&#x27;t really had that kind of experience after this. The web really was the thing and it has completely changed how we learn and work.
