Season 1, Episode 3: “The 1990s”

Amid the communication and home entertainment revolution of the 1990s, the family attempt to stay in touch using pagers and take a giant mobile phone and a rudimentary digital camera on a day trip to Paris in honour of the opening of the Channel Tunnel in 1994. Workplace technology becomes increasingly portable, but a home without access to the internet proves frustrating, and the arrival of the 1990s world wide web is a far cry from what the kids are used to. Whirlwind technological progress inundates the family with gadgets and upgrades that infiltrate every area of their home, and they are left reeling by the pace of change and surprised by the impact of 1990s tech on family life.
