funkwurm mentions an mwesch video, but i have a better one! The last half of my video response is a clip from it. If you watch it, I promise you special and highly efficacious prayers!
It's crazy to think about. My family got our first PC, I want to say around 92. My dad was into it and would upgrade the machine every year or two. As a result, I can remember a time when you had to boot via DOS, connect to the internet via a 14kb per sec dial up modem, and other search engines besides Google still existed. All that seems like a distant past as my cell phone now has more processing power than all those machines combined. Crazy.
I'm a little bit older than you and i got my first pc in the late 90's but i think i never really freaked out about the internet and the future and stuff. Maybe because i'm reading SF lit since i'm 12. I really want all that stuff i've been reading about to happen.
I got the quote from Mike Wesch, you might know him as the guy behind the video that was featured way back when being featured was a huge thing. The video was "Web 2.0, The Machine is Us/ing Us".
On his channel (mwesch) there's a video you wanna watch: The Machine is (Changing) Us: YouTube and the Politics of Authenticity. It's a half an hour long talk with very good insight into how this is changing us.

So I take it you don't watch CAPRICA? We're just programming our future selves, is all.

I love seeing Youtubers in a good mood. ^_^
We had a desktop at home in the mid 90s, I believe, and I was mostly for educational games and typing up stuff for classes and such.
Ah, the ending of series 1 of new Doctor Who. :)

Oregon Trail. Good game! Also, I completely recommend the series of Dexter if you're not already addicted to it! Go watch it now!
