The Internet transforms modern life

"In 1994, people had to call the bank to check their balances. Or inquire in person, or wait for a paper statement to arrive in the mail. Baseball box scores were found in the newspaper. Weather forecasts came over the phone from the weather bureau, or on TV.

"Back then, most Americans still had to lick a stamp to send mail."

Wow, seems like the Dark Ages, doesn't it? Amazing that that was just 10 short years ago.
