Should you be on the internet?

Back in 1995, Eye asked: should you be on the internet?

Most new users find themselves initially addicted, forget that they are paying for a phone call and sometimes even forget that they have commitments in the real world. This reveals the immaturity of the technology. We don’t use the telephone because it is there, and are rarely even aware of it as a technology at all. When we are able to say the same about the internet, then it will have become truly useful.

Still waiting for the useful bit to kick in.
