I put the very late 1990s as hen the Internet took off. It went from being a weird techie thing to something a good proportion of the population was using.
The main graph on the top of this page shows Internet Users as proportion of population in Developed countries went from 11% in 1997 to 31% in 2000.

- bsder 5y agoI mark the transition as Y2K exactly. It was basically right at 1999->2000 that you had internet stores completely melt down on Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. This was the point where the Internet was escaping being some weird techie thing to being something that non-technical people were using.
