What about BitTorrent or P2P file transfers in general? Anonymous peer to peer seems to have not emerged until 2001, or peer to peer in general until November 1998. That's a bit too far back for me to have any idea what computers were like but peer to peer file transfer is an amazing software development which could be implemented on any computers that can transfer files--at least as early as 1977.
