Internet based telemetry couldn’t have existed until at least the 1960-80. This telemetry wasn’t really as sophisticated as electronic based telemetry. The difference is one isn’t connected to your entire life.

Sure, but Google came out in 1998. I remember it taking over webcrawler and lycos. Telemetry definitely existed before then. But I get your point that telemetry really became a bad word much more recently.
