“Shouldn’t everybody be on the internet? YESSS.”

Kids in adorable 90s haircuts predict the future of the internet (“by the time we’re in college, the internet will be our telephone, television, shopping center, and workplace”; “…and I even found a recipe for catfood cupcakes”) in an oddly prophetic PSA from 1995.

Then, see Arthur C. Clarke predict it way back in 1964.
