Not possible from the mid 90's because the Internet was not well established until lately. (Fibre optics, etc.)

With the invention of the smart phone (2009) becoming affordably popular in 2013 more people in the third world are becoming computer and Internet literate.

Finally, except for computer programmers, the white collar exodus did not happen yet. The work culture measured a workers productivity by their seat time. Only now are managers becoming comfortable with remote workers and measuring their productivity. (Also using Zoom to measure seat time.) The pandemic is driving this culture change.

Actually, the internet was well established in the 90's. Microsoft's Internet Explorer app dates back to 1995. Techs, office staff, and others were using text based internet even before then. I remember techs getting laid off and jobs outsourced in the 90's.
