I can remember when Bill Gates would travel around and pitch how influential and transformative the internet could be and people would literally laugh in his face.

You must be from one of those alternate timelines. I remember people laughing at Gates because his book on influential and transformative technologies (The Road Ahead) didn't mention the Internet once.

I remember when Gates went on David Letterman to announce a baseball game was going to be broadcast over the internet for the first time and Letterman mocked him for several minutes. In the beginning the internet was straight garbage.
