Great Internet Explosion
The mainstreaming of the Internet in 1993-1994. Used normally in time
comparatives; before the and after it were very different worlds from a
hacker's point of view. Before it, Internet access was expensive and
available only to an elite few through universities, research laboratories,
and well-heeled corporations; after it, everybody's mother had access.
