PCs on the Internet: "tools of the human spirit" The Internet "tapped a yearning to connect" People have an "Overwhelming desire to be rooted"
Boy, I wonder when this ran? I was reading Usenet groups in 1989...

I love how the piece was not about the technology, but how it was about people connecting..
They mention the Homolka trial - a brutal murder of two teenagers that shook the country... That was in 1993 - so this piece is probably from that year. The anchor Peter Mansbridge still hosts the CBC national newscast. The reporter, Bill Cameron passed away a couple of years ago..

It also mentions congressional hearings on the internet to start next month. It would be interesting to pull up the archives on those hearings.
