You realize that h.264 was started in the 90s, right?

What's that got to do with anything?

The video compression that Netflix did not invent is h.264 that was invented in the 90s. Just like VRML.

I wasn't saying that everything invented in the 90s is now a relic. Lots of technology from then has stood the test of time and is still useful. But VRML is not one of them! It wasn't any good even at the time.
