Friday Farewell - "Tools of the Human Spirit"

This week, I've been discussing the future broadband. For today's Friday Farewell post, I thought I'd show you just how far we've come. This news clip from 1993 discusses the "revolution" going on in rec rooms that allows people to pass on cooking tips.





It's funny to laugh at now, but consider this: according to this report, there were only 15 million users of the Internet in 1993, a scant amount relative to today. Yet, notice he says it cost about $200 a year (Canadian). That averages out to about $13/month in US dollars. you'd think, with more people paying for the service today, that that price would have decreased. Hmmm...
