We connected an office to the Internet in 1995
Suddenly everyone and I mean everyone was using Netscape Navigator and hotbot to surf for porn
When someone yelled Holy sh... look at this!
Everyone would run over to their desk.
A different world back then
And around that time of porn viewing on desktop PCs, walled cubicles appeared. I remember working in open offices with rows of desks where everyone could see each other. Then partitions started going up, giving privacy to workers to view whatever they wanted. I worked in a room with a dozen guys, no women, and it was as you described. Guys would cluster around one desk (except for a prude or two). Gals in the office returned sanity there.
