Witness History - First internet cafe
The first commercial internet cafe opened in London on 1 September 1994.
Eva Pascoe, from Poland, is one of the founders of Cyberia. She claims that Kylie Minogue was amongst the famous visitors and learnt how to use the internet at the cafe.
Eva tells Gill Kearsley the story of how cakes, computers and Kylie came together to make this new venture a success.
