@Tijn (I should say “usable” WiFi with 11Mbps was introduced in 1999 from Apple and others. Slower 2Mbps dates back to 1997 (commercially).

@thomasfuchs We have lived to see miracles created. We have also lived long enough to see Matt Damon first artificially aged, then actually aged, but all the while trapped in World War II (?). We are lucky.
