My comment is only tangentially related to yours, but I thought it might be helpful/entertaining.

Back in the early 90s (~25 years ago) i got my first unix account that had access to the INTERNET! I could have nicely formatated text (via html) sent to my computer running Lynx. That alone was amazing.

The my brother brought home a movie on a CD-ROM. Barely watchable video quality. The i read about the "future" and how eventually you could have a movie streamed to you when you wanted to watch it! Give me a break, that's technically impossible.

And here we are today!
