The “Life on the Net” article is from 1994.
Download the article “Tim Berners-Lee: The Architect of the World Wide Web” from the July 1996 edition of the Technology Review.
Download the article “Life on the Net: Chaos and Community On-Line” from the July 1994 edition of the Technology Review.

Some highlights from the 1994 edition:
“Mosaic is similar to Gopher but has a fancy graphical hypertext interface. Because the graphics need to be transmitted to your computer, Mosaic works best if you have a fast connection to the Internet - 19,200 bits per second.”
“Enormous amounts of information course through the Internet. During one typical month, traffic volume on the NSFNet - the backbone of the U.S. portion of the Internet - varied from zero bytes to 100 billion bytes” - what amounts to 1GB!
From the 1996 edition:
“It staggers me that people have actually put up with HTML. It was never supposed to be something that you would see, but something produced by an editor program” - Tim Berners-Lee
