Eternal September, not endless August. And it was 1993.And now for a little errata. These are just minor mistatements Null made, sorry for my pedanticness.
1. Endless August. Null states that "endless summer" was caused by AOL. And it was, but its actually "endless August". Before AOL, American kids would arrive at their college campuses in August and every year some of the nerdy ones would log onto usenet, generally behaving with the retardation that any socially awkward 18 year old would in a new setting. This was normal and expected and over the course of the academic year those teens would learn to fit in with their communities and balance would be restored. In, I want to say '91, this changed and the retarded freshmen never stopped coming, "breaking" the 80s era Internet forever and leading to the AOL/Netscape era of the Internet.
