decade this i got from a web site

The decade I  would is the 199os because The 1990s was truly the electronic age.  We would not have been able to publish our decades web site if it weren't for the Internet.   The World Wide Web was born in 1992, changing the way we communicate (email), spend our money (online gambling, stores),  and do business (e-commerce).  By 1994, 3 million people were online.  And by 1998, this figure increased to 100 million people.  It is estimated that by 2001, some 1 billion people will be connected.  Internet lingo like plug-ins,  BTW (by the way), GOK (God only knows), IMHO (in my humble opinion), FAQS, SPAM, FTP, ISP, and  phrases like "See you online" or  "The server's down"  or "Bill Gates" became part of our everyday vocabulary.  We signed our mail with a  :-)  smile, a   ;-)  wink, or a :-* kiss.  And - everyone has a cell phone (even Jason at right!)

Television  graced 98% of the households in the U.S. in 1998 (according to the Statistical Abstract chart 910, online p. 5) with the average viewer spending seven hours a day watching 'the tube'.  In 1996, the television industry announced a  TV Parental Guideline rating system.  News or news magazine shows like 60 Minutes,  20/20, and Dateline NBC  were popular.  As cable expanded to include 74% of U.S. households, it gave rise to networks dedicated to a  particular theme such as sports,  nature,  golf, cooking,  women, history, and science fiction.   CNN had live coverage of the Gulf War in 1991.  And, did you, too, stay up to hear Dave Letterman's List?     The industry continued to push the envelop with hot topics like:

Once again, revivals were big hits on Broadway and around the country.  Andrew Lloyd Webber continued throughout the decade with Cats.   Musicals   (Les Misérables) continued to be popular in theaters but nearly disappeared on film - even Evita was a financial flop.  Mega-movie houses sprouted up - with up to 24 theaters in each.  Dollar movies went to a Dollar and a Half!  Videos came out right on the heels of movies and the price for renting or buying was affordable.
