I remember watching a TV news report in the mid 90s, before Amazon, Netflix, Google even. AOL was a big thing and people with personal computers at home were mostly just messing around. There wasn't a lot of e-commerce. The news anchor was lamenting that all these people playing on their computers were just a wasting their time "browsing," as if no activity has value unless it can be monetized.
