It will take time though, if the internet had completely disappeared in the mid 90s nothing would have fundamentally changed

Wow. Just the fact that the Internet existed at the library was enough for me to know I could know anything as a child - once we got that Internet in 95 and Win 95 PC, everything changed for me. I was quite natural to the online world by Win 98.

MY entire worldview and daily life habits would have changed.

You must be older than me.
