We certainly had to adjust to those technologies, and all of them came with side effects in addition to being valuable, the same as the new tech we've seen in recent years.
In the 90s all anyone could talk about was how terrible TV was, the ballooning amount of time people spent watching instead of being social or going outside, etc. And I certainly spent more time actually watching and focusing on ads (commercials) then than I do on the web, where I block them, ignore them, or pay for them to go away.

Can't deny that TV started to slip off on the wrong side of things but even then it wasn't as it is today. The point is, most consumer technology is at penny stock level of progress in term of deep value.
