In 1990, Douglas Adams got together with Tom Baker, and they made a program for the BBC called Hyperland, a documentary about the Web. The Internet had been around for decades at that point, and even became common among early adapters around 1984 through dedicated client services like AOL and Compuserve.

By the way, did you see the Doctor and Romana hawking computers in the early ’80s? How about Captain Kirk?
