first hit record to mention the Internet/www?

Although these are some spectacularly badly written lyrics, they prophesize the internet of today surprisingly well for 1994. No wide-eyed techno utopia for Ray & Anita:

Technology
Virtual Society
Info superhighway interaction
Into the future, into the future
Technology
See the world progressing all around us, it's a virtual society
Info superhighway interaction, computer pal or enemy
So communicate with me
Won't you interact with me?
Technicians, technique, technology
It's the most important thing in the industry
It's going further nowadays, 'cause they want to get paid
Every day new discovery and plans to be made
Now get connected like an electric wire
Look out for the shock, look out for the fire
Just imagine how it would be
Without the thing they call "technology".
Interact with me
Interact with me
Info superhighway
Technicians, technique, technology
It runs the world and society
Digital revolution, technical solutions
For some it only brings more and more confusion
Do we still talk about civilization
'Cause we gotta look out for the computer invasion
Radio, telephone, or TV..
Would it be there without technology?
Into the future
Into the future
Energy from the inner mind
Technology
So communicate with me
Want you interact with me
Info superhighway interaction
Technology
Technology
Technology
