I wasn't able to realize the scale of the shift that's about to happen back then.

I just remembered another example of hearing about something that seemed like pure magic:

That’s most interesting aspect to me is that 100s of thousands of people were all likely aware of the developments in the field, but few actually knew what was coming down the road in the near future. It’s these types of gaps I find the most interesting when looking at technologies like this.
