That's not how I remember it (but I was just a kid so I might be misremembering?)
As I remember (and what I gather from media from the era) late 80s/early 90s were hyper optimistic about tech. So much so that I distinctly remember a ¿german? TV show when I was a kid where they had what amounts to modern smartphones, and we all assumed that was right around the corner. If anything, it took too damn long.
Were adults outside my household not as optimistic about tech progress?
