The Internet was not the Internet back then. I believe it was ARPANET or something like that. I do remember that much in my computer classes. College and businesses had the ability to connect to the "mainframe" interconnection system that sprang out of the Dept. of Defense, but it was a long time before a home user could use their modems to connect to that type of system.

The name "Internet" was coined as it's purpose was to connect diverse networks into a common system. It has evolved considerably from it's earliest days. It was already in popular use before web browsers. Back when I first got Internet access, back in the mid '90s, services such as gopher, WAIS, ftp, archie, usenet and others were in common use. Those functions have generally been taken over by browsers.
