My partner and I were re-watching Father of the Bride the other day (rest in peace, Diane Keaton) and during the early parents meeting the son-in-law to-be describes himself as a communications consultant, working on X.25 networking installations.
I had to pause the movie and explain to my partner just how close the world came to missing out on The Internet, and having instead to suffer the ignominy of visiting sites with addresses like “CN=wikipedia, OU=org, C=US” and god knows what other dreadful protocols underlying them. I think she was surprised how angry and distressed I sounded! It would have been awful!
Poor her!
