But, they should look on the bright side: now there is also internet porn, on big, color monitors..., 'cause they have no chance of getting laid otherwise.
I don't even know where to start here. So much is offensive.

As mentioned before, the web was never text only. Precursors to the internet were, but the "world wide web" always had images. The internet also postdates when "most computer monitors were 8" or less and monochomatic". The internet was created in 1989, not 1969.

Back then, it wasn't that such and such was cool, or what ever, it was "hey, look what I made my computer do". We created then. People had intelligence. Here you are, talking about people that were on the absolute bleeding edge of things, but acting as if they are luddites.

As far as getting some action, I lived and was part of computers then, and still am, but I'm probably getting laid more often than you are.
