By the 1990s, everything had already been invented, hadn’t it? We already had the CD, so music was digital. There was the optical disc, a kind of giant not-so-compact disc (the size of a vinyl LP) containing digitized video. Even television was now beamed to Earth using ones and zeroes from satellites. So were the 1990s just a natural evolution from the 1980s? Certainly not. Digitization quickly found its way into almost anything and everything, and this made a massive, qualitative difference.
