@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ So, from the European point of view, here is a short summary of why 90s were so
- Professionals actually knew something about their profession, you could trust that if someone did something for living, he'd be kind of good at it. As a result things were generally of good quality, including for example movie dubbings and subtitles (nowadays it's standard that subtitles are made by people who cannot read or write or even talk at all), news, books, electronics, tools etc.
- ALL computers had [CRT](crt.md)s!
- People talked normally, there was no [newspeak](newspeak.md) [bullshit](bullshit.md)! The "issue" of politically correct pronouns didn't exist, such insanity would be seen as completely ridiculous, "he" was the default pronoun, everyone said "mankind", "spokesman", no one had an issue with it. If someone just mentioned that a pronoun can be "offensive" he would be probably be immediately put in a mental asylum.
- There was absolute minimum of [ads](marketing.md) and they were somewhat bearable, not 100% aggressive brainwashing -- some even naively tried to pleasant and brings some actual art in. You could see a movie, then there would be two or three ads and another movie would follow, and that was on a commercial station, state TV had basically zero ads.

USA brain probably can't even comprehend this.
- [Internet](internet.md) was actually good and free of idiots, it was elitist and only for nerds with no life. [Web](www.md) was young, only 1.0, all sites were nice, lightweight, non-commercial. [Gopher](gopher.md) was just as popular.
- [Programming](programming.md) and IT was still cool and didn't make you wanna kill yourself -- [C](c.md) was used a lot, game developers wrote their own [engines](game_engine.md), webmasters actually wrote [HTML](html.md) and so on.
- No [women](woman.md) in tech or on the Internet, or at least a minimum of them -- no one cared about gender or shit like that back then. Thanks to this you could actually appreciate women in those fields, you knew a woman had to be real special to have made it.
