The year of the Internet or AI. For all intents and purposes the advent of the Internet as we know it started in 1995. It's not about when technology was invented or when a couple of hundred servers existed, but when the population at large started hearing about it and a lot of us started using it. 1995 is 1 AI.
In 1 Anno Internetum (AI) about 10,000 servers were brought on-line. 2010 is 16 Anno Internetum (AI).

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
