90s Internet Kid Desk Mats

Behind the Meme

“The Internet” was a textbook in every school with a kid literally surfing on a surfboard through cyberspace on the cover. It tried to explain the brand-new World Wide Web to kids using utopian analogies like “information superhighway” and “surfing the net.”

Its wildly optimistic, dated predictions and cheesy clip-art aesthetics turned it into a nostalgia meme in the 2010s–2020s.
