Boy were we naïve in the late 90s/early 00s, thinking all this technology was going to "help humanity".
Hell we even thought by making computers cheap enough and distributing them widely enough we were going to make African societies functional. I have a good laugh about that every time I think about it.

The internet always needed to be something you go to a specific place to use, not something you have in your pocket 24 hours/day.
That IMO is the true dividing line between Gen X and Millennial: do you remember a time before the internet?
I'm on the older end of millennial (born before 1984), and I didn't get regular internet until about 1998.
Yes, I do remember. Playing baseball on the cul-de-sac I used to live on, for example.
