They left out the wife finding prospective lovers on facebook, the husband jacking off with online porn and the kids launching cyberbullying attacks on an unsuspecting schoolmate. Where was Net Neutrality, Wikileaks and Google's role in the ousting of an Egyptian president? haha. Who am I kidding. They'd never have believed it back then anyway.

In 1975 John Brunner wrote "Shockwave Rider". He described the modern net with great prescience. He introduced the terms "virus", "worm" and "trojan".
