I'm not sure what the heyday of Infocom has to do with the WWW, since the time of that famous producer of text adventure games preceded the existence of the Web by a number of years.  (Infocom was around from the mid '70s to the late '80s, while the World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990.) Perhaps you're confusing the Web with the Internet, which dates back to the ARPAnet of 1969 and first became the "Internet" with the introduction of TCP/IP in the early '80s.
