If you think that 1990 was about 10 years ago, you’re not alone. It’s hard to comprehend that we were watching Rachel and Ross and their unresolved sexual tension on Friends, over TWENTY years ago. But we were.

Technically, it was still a fairly simple time where we were only on the cusp of understanding the life-changing impact of the ‘world wide web’. The likelihood of carrying a palm-sized computer in our pockets was about as likely as riding a golden unicorn bareback.
