It's not entirely prophetic, but it sure lands some blows that still sting, 30 years later:

It's just like the Internet, except:

• It's a lot more expensive.

• You can't post, and there's no killfile.

• There's no alt.sex or alt.drugs.

• The new rec.humor.funny has a laugh track.

• There's a commercial break every 10 minutes.

• Everything is formatted to 40 columns for TVs.
