Turn the clock back 12 years. Look around you and you may find yourself sitting at a 386 PC, chances are you'd be running Windows 3.1 and if you were really lucky you'd have a 14.4 modem with a connection to The Internet. The web was still in its infancy (having only sprung into existence 2 short years ago) and the 'Net was still small and relatively unexplored.
Back in this early time, there was the Internet World Magazine. At the end of 1994, they published a list of best/worst events and sites of The Internet of 1994, along with predictions of what was to come in 1995 from many of their regularly contributing writers. Hear about the wonders of Gopher, and how no one really wants video-on-demand on their computer. It's an amusing glimpse into the past and how we thought things were going to pan out in "the future."
