1991 is the year. Among that year's occurences: the Soviet Union collapsed, Sweden won the Eurovision Song Contest, the Mercosur was established, Comedy Central was launched, and most important...the world wide web was born!
After having been 16 days without internet, I came to the conclusion that is one of the best things the first world has, together with education and health care (...and beer festivals, absolutely). You really can no longer do anything without it. How else would you look for a job these days?! And what about the need to be connected to the world, immersed in the knowledge society, or wasted on facebook and msn chat. Ah! Luxury and necessity it is.
