Hey, I like that catchy tune they were singing at the end.  It's going to be running through my head all night, now!

Back then the internet was a kind of a miracle and now many people just can't live without it. Students for example. I doubt that they will be able to find needed info in a library and not on the web. Also modern students use services like www.papersowl.com all the time.

I am sure in 1993 people couldn't imagine all the power the internet will have gained to 2019. Now all our life is connected with the internet and many people have internet careers and most popular people do content for youtube, for example. So, the others buy views on y.tools/buy-youtube-views/ trying to be popular

Yeah, before the Internet was that ass, But it wasnt really possible to use, not like now, you can watch streaming video in 4K quality and you dont know grief. It is amazing how fast the world is moving and how cool technology is changing. Personally, one of my favorite online entertainments at the moment is promo code for syndicate casino and games there.
