Speaking of corporations: I was a teenager in the mid-90s and one thing that has stuck in my memory is a Coca-Cola truck. It had a website address on it. I'd been using the internet for a few years, but had never seen that happen before. The website probably existed but until now they'd felt no need to let anyone know.
I was too young to think about what it might mean in the long run, but it hinted that perhaps it wouldn't just stay a nerd's playground forever. It felt like a form of validation, that this internet thing would now become mainstream, and it definitely did in the lead-up to 2000 and all that happened.
