As a 7 year old I loved watching the Apple commercials that came on the Apple Multimedia Starter Kit CD-ROM. I still think this is the greatest commercial ever made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1hSU_qz5Es

One thing that is absent from today’s technoculture but was pervasive in the 1990s is the fact that the use of any feature that might have required an intermediate/advanced level of technical knowledge seemed subversive. Also, the feeling that big institutions seemed obtuse and unaware of advancements in technology. You want to what on an airplane? What’s a network?

Now, it’s normalized and might be perceived mildly annoying at worst (ie asking someone to AirDrop a photo for better quality versus them messaging a quality-reduced photo to you).
