1993: the key to everything

Wired magazine, in an unreadable, messy yarn pile of a chart, posits that 1993--year of the first World Trade Center attack, the Apple Newton's launch, the debut of Star Trek:Deep Space 9, the famous "on the Internet, no one knows you're a dog" cartoon, and establishment of HDTV standards, among other events, including my high school graduation--is the year that "invented the future" and responsible for current things like Battlestar Galactica, current U.S. foreign policy, and iPhone lust.

Though there some undeniable connections in some of those items (Newton > iPhone, Ron Moore), I am more amused than convinced.
