Gopher: When the Internet Was Made of Menus

Original: GOPHER – ALS DAS INTERNET AUS MENÜS BESTAND https:// gadgetchecks.de/gopher-als-das -internet-aus-menues-bestand/ # netz

A German tech site takes a look back at Gopher, the pre-web protocol that organized online content into simple hierarchical menus before the World Wide Web took over in the early 1990s. The retrospective explains how Gopher worked, why it lost out to HTTP and HTML, and what it meant for internet history and computing nostalgia.

Why now: Nostalgic retrospectives about early internet protocols regularly resurface among tech communities interested in computing history
