Blew my mind, and I knew life would never be the same again. And it wasn't.
About 7 years ago I was working at an ad agency with a group of web developers and they were all talking about the speed of change of the web and one of them (rhetorically) asked "who even knows nowadays who invented the web?" I just looked at him and said "Tim Berners-Lee." He had never even heard of him, and he was our lead web developer! Kids these days, no sense of history, even as it relates to their jobs.
