Introduction
As a decade that began with barely a mobile phone in sight and ended with millions of internet users, the 1990s saw humanity progress in ways not seen before.
Characterized by relative peace and prosperity, the 1990s enabled sweeping developments in science and culture, and is perhaps best summed up by the popular attitude of not trying too hard.
