My impression was attitude shift about computers/Internet was 1995 when MS & AOL pointed out to the masses that pornography was now available even in the most rural area of the Bible Belt for a few hundred bucks & $19 a month
Often wonder if Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc. ever acknowledge(d) if only to themselves that bulk of their wealth came from giving access to adult websites to people who otherwise saw no use for owning any computer more powerful than a $2 solar calculator
