I don’t mean BETTER. That’s a different conversation. I mean cooler.
An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors.
If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick.
That’s just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.
The Internet.
Early to mid 90s was peak internet, even go as far as late 90s still being pretty solid!
Early 2000 was best IMO.
Fair, looking back, was a lot of good on the net still, you thinking around MySpace launch was the last of the good times??
Up to around the launch of the iPhone I guess, the web was so diverse and so many ‘places’, before youtube, google, facebook.
Computers making Fennec Fox noises at each other over the telephone line. And that connected you to the world.
