Universal Access Has Ruined the Internet
I've been "online" since 1993, when 9,600bps was fast and a 17" CRT was considered the big time.  The idea of a text-driven BBS being hip was vanquisted forever with the advent of Mosaic, the first real web browser.  It changed the business world as much as any invention ...
