> Would we still get web browsers?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLATO_(computer_system) is from the 1960s, so, technically, it certainly is possible. Whether it would make sense commercially to support a billion users would depend on whether we would stay stuck on prices of the eighties, too.

Also, there’s mobile usage. I would it be possible to build a mobile network with thousands of users per km² with tech from the eighties?
