A decade and a half, seriously?

Has it really only been fifteen frickin' years since the world wide web came into being?

I remember being a freshman at Wabash bitnetting to distant friends at Wooster, telnetting to the library at an Israeli university, and trying on Mosaic for the first time.

And now I can't even consider doing something as ridiculous as looking something up in a print encyclopedia.

To quote Berkeley Breathed, "what exactly does it mean to wind a watch?"
