People tend to forget that computers and digitization already were a thing before the widespread use of the internet.
During my youth in the late 80s, early nineties you would typically use DOS-based local search, sometimes even locally networked already.
Wood-pulp based search still was present, but mainly as a fallback when the limited number of search terminals were all occupied.
Aside from that, the meme is quite acurate though... ๐
