So 25 years ago, some smart guy thinks "hmmmmm this internet thing may take off, I am going to register me a domain name......"
Pretty much everything is available, and he chooses SYMBOLICS.COM
Doh!

You are missing a big part of the story here with this domain, the guy that owns it now isn't the original owner, and as someone already said, the internet and it's purpose was a whole lot different back then when it became the first "official" domain registered.
Anyone care to take a guess on who hosts the "oldest" registered domain?

Domain Name: SYMBOLICS.COM
Name Server: NS1.AMERINOC.COM
Name Server: NS2.AMERINOC.COM
As to registered domains, the oldest I personally have left is from '98.
