We need a new invention to replace the explosive tech market of the 90's. Where's Algore when we need a new "internet?"

Wasn't the internet invented in the 1960's? It wasn't until the PC market hit critical mass with an attractive price point that it took off. The invention we need is already out there.

I know that! LOL!

Are you thinking of a specific "new invention" or, are you speculating?

The Internet's birth was in the late 1960s. 1969, if I am correct. TCP/IP, the mainstay of Internet "talking" was written in the early 1980s. Windows 95 brought to the consumer masses an easy way to connect to and use the Internet. If anyone, we have Microsoft to thank for the Internet explosion.
