No worse than the "atomic" or "space-age" days that followed, and way better than "block-chain" or "AI" of today.

True, just like "online" and ".com" in the 2000s. Marketing loves to pointlessly toss around fad words. I will mock this specific ad for overusing the word to a comical degree, though.

Don't get me wrong. I agree. Mock away. I was just commenting on how this is something we can't seem to get away from.
