A network called "Internet"
The CBC reveals "the internet" to the amazed world of 1993.
Punctuation marks that look like smiley faces express happiness on a new communication tool known as "Internet." The computer network is already being used by 15 million people worldwide — to chat or do important research. Communication may be anonymous and isolated, but there's always someone to talk to about sports, recipes or politics.

Conan O'Brien foresaw the internet's significance even earlier:
"I believe that one day, a high speed network of interconnected computers will spring up world-wide, so enriching people that they will lose their interest in idle chit chat and pornography."
