[hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8cnP-RtRHU[/hd] "Imagine a world where every word ever written, every painting ever painted, every film ever shot, could be viewed instantly in your home via an information superhighway..." We have come along so far, that you can access all that with your smartphone, in the comfort of your bathroom toilet, while taking a shit. :v: [editline]30th September 2016[/editline] Relevant, and quite interesting as well [hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWssRVJgPqc[/hd]

The stuff about fibre still rings true to an extent today (I don't think they really predicted faster connections over copper) and knowing [URL="http://www.techradar.com/news/world-of-tech/how-the-uk-lost-the-broadband-race-in-1990-1224784"]we could of had it in the 90s[/URL] is just painful.
