  • I'm watching this on an iPhone haha tech has had a real success. I was born on this year.

  • old mcdonald had a... what i didn't understand?!

  • keep yer old toolbox around...wardial

  • 10 cents a minute

    man if you tried sitting there waiting for downloads or even worse an youtube upload that could get pricey

  • @stidwell420 Watching this video on youtube would probably cost almost $5 in 1991.

  • Pause it at the very start**

  • Wings Tonight at 9:00PM. PAIS

  • this internet thing will never catch on!

  • 10 cents a minute?! I've met prostitutes with better rates than that!

  • my phone can do all that and more now, without the 10 cents a minute.

    Also, that cartoon woman looks rather Victorian

    TYPING VIOLINIST KGB4art V SEKONDA DIAMOND OUTSIDE DAWN PORTER ADRIAlgc.comN FLUG EVEREST INSIDE KATE HUMBLE PRIZE BUG NOSE KATE McCANN DRIVE

  • Why would I want to pay $40/month for an encyclopedia? This is never going to catch on. NEVER.

  • i dialed that number and i got jack shit

  • 10 cents a fucking minute!!!!! That was even more money back than too lol.

  • @AbduCola about 50 cents in today's money! $30 an hour! Don't forget how slow the internet was back then too. At least the music industry didn't have to worry about you stealing songs, it would cost you 100x as much than to just buy it!

  • we had compuserve back in the day when i was four, hated that piece of shit lmfao.

  • ...E I E I O!

  • I believe it was some sort of farm that old mcdonald had.

  • at 1:03 old mcdonald had a what now must have being

    an editing error then.

  • but they didn't have search engines yet, so you had to know the exact address

  • I was already on the Internet in 1991 and couldn't understand why anyone wanted CompuServe. I did like that they send me free diskettes from time to time to store files on.

  • OLD MCDONALD HAD A....................

  • @TrapnestShinigami

    compuserve internet computer on his farm ei ei oh !

  • Back in my day, we had to walk 30 miles uphill both ways in 10 feet of snow with 5 pound 14 inch floppy disks that held only 64kb each to transfer information

  • The electronic Mall XD

  • @infinityseeker1993

    He had a 2400 baud modem.

  • and it only takes 30 hours to get a webpage

  • after all that hub-bub, you almost made me want to pick up the damn phone and ask about compuserve... then I heard "ol mc donald" and i couldn't resist the sing-along!

  • Ima Call this Number... (Actually Calling)... Response: 1 800 352 talk at exciting people nation-wide that is 352-tlk.... What the fuck?!?!?!?! That was so weird

  • anyone who doubts ray kurzweil needs to have a look at this...

  • The only network that still charges  you $30 for something you can download for free off the internet.

  • Man I wish mom would get this for me lol

  • LMAO 10 cents a minute.

  • When the internet was invented, it was designed to make everyone a genius.

    Instead, it became the world's biggest procrastinating device.

  • YEA! because my online gaming sessions back in the day only last a few minutes! BECAUSE OF FucKING LAG lol.

  • old mcdonald had a....

  • Over ½ million members? Not for long….

  • There was a charm and innocence to the internet back then. Yaaa it was slower than hell but still............

  • @jfrockon And then porn came along and made it interesting :)

  • Old McDonald had AOL.

    Old MacDonald had eWorld (Apple's short-lived online service).

  • I used to have compuserve, but if I feel like using dialup, i use a ***-1010 number

  • @linuxboygenius Sure if you want an interconnect fee and Federal USF surchage (thus if the number is called from another state) Use a calling card through telcan program the dial up networking settings to include pauses after entering the calling card number and the number you are dialing and log online. less than 6.5 cents per minute Telcan Universal PIN is better than 1010 dialing.

  • Games against oponents around the...country! I grew up with dial up, but by the time we had it the web was across the world, i cant imagine it being limited to a single country.

  • @stainonsociety3451 i know isnt that insane! It's amazing how far we've come along in only 17-20 years.

  • @08WSChamps My god, is it really that long ago? Only seems a couple of years, lol!

  • @stainonsociety3451 its insane man, i just cnt believe we have the iphones, ipads, other tablets and everything they can do, now internet from your tv, come on the internets like not even a thrill anymore since its so common place lol

  • @08WSChamps If you told me 10 years ago we would have that kind of technology i would have laughed and carried on playing snake, lol. To be honest i was to young to really appreciate it but i remember my family being amazed by it, i grew up with it in a sense, techno generation, lol.

  • @stainonsociety3451 lol same here man, i would never have believed it (btw I loved snake, used to play it all the time and would own, on my dads nokia lol good times). I was born in 91 so yea we are the tech generation. We're lucky b/c it seems as though anyone born before the 60s had a hard time adjusting to it and still are, but you cant blame them. I dnt wana know how redic 20 yrs from nows gona be. I heard some engineers wana build a traffic convoy 20 yrs from now. its so dumb cars would..

  • @08WSChamps Lol, i was born in 92, although utube seems to think that makes me 21, go figure, lol. I was lucky at school, we won some competition and got an entire computer suite, with 'the internet' OOooOoOoO It ran 95 and was so slow to get online it took 5 minuets to load bulliten board! XD We learned how to use it quicker than the teachers! One kid managed to take over the entire network and they had to get an IT guy in to lock him out! Who knows what the future holds!

  • @stainonsociety3451 ...for a line behind a truck that somehow would magnetically or thru some other form of technology would drive i thnk 6-10 cars automatically. The truck driver would be a professionally trained driver. Now its cool if u need a break from a long road trip from work, but being in such close quarters going 50-70 seems too dangerous to me. It'll never happen, oh isnt tht what they said about the airplane hahahah lol

  • Old McDonald had a Farm......

  • we still have an old computer dial-up company here, my grandparents tried it becouse it had promises of "high speed internet" yeah as speedy as a snail. And my grandparents got in a rut about the internet "GET OFF THE INTERNET I WANT TO USE THE PHONE!" "WHAT?" "I SAID GET OFF THE INTERNET I WANT TO USE THE PHONE!"

  • i was part of this in the 80s. loved it and built my own BBS at the age of 11, and had hundreds of people calling daily.. Programming i enjoyed and was a massive achievement! and all using GWBASIC and pusing everything through com port 1

    All on the COCO 3

  • @Liquadia1 - I got into it as well in the 80s. I had a lot of dropped connections because I had one of those Radio Shack acoustic modems. Overall, it sucked compared with local BBS connections I used to peruse. The stuff Compuserve had was cool, for its day, I have to admit that. Some folks might say it was the 'web' of the 80s, but I think it was more like Gopher really.

  • .10 a minute a minute nowadays? the ideas torture :0

  • Hundreds of internet services?! - I think you mean billions by todays standards! :D

  • oh no!! not CRAPuserve

  • @babyboy3601978, LOL

  • i am calling to the past thanks to skype

  • what did old mcdonald HAVE I WANT TO KNOW

  • I offer tech supp for Compuserve :)) feel free to message me if you're still using it. lol

  • I just called the number, it's a sex hotline now. X3

  • @Megafoxy omg

  • @Megafoxy hahahahaha....maybe they changed their business model !

  • @Megafoxy they changed their number to 1-800-352-talk. the lady on the phone said the girls like to talk nasty as much as i do!

  • Fuck yeah, Springsteen

  • I can't believe it took until 2009 to get this company shut down.

  • Remember compuserve, they were still in use back in '99 i recall. hopefully their out of business and the guy that created it is homeless...

  • $0.10 a minute? Can you image the all the money we'll be losing if that was true today?

  • It's so bizarre watching something trying to "sell" the internet. There's no need to justify it nowadays, it's such an essential part of our everyday lives.

  • 10c a minute LOL

  • I'm still using it, rate was fixed.

  • PSN: Only 0c per minute and with OVER a million users. 20 years on.

    ... Still as vulnerable as CompuServe BETA. XD (omg I cant believe that name is in the PCs dictionary)

  • In '91, I was too busy getting laid to be playin around with an internet.. now 20 years later, I'm married w/a family and cant remember the last time I got lai.. & spend all my free time hiding out on the web.

  • Back then, many referred to it as "Compu$serve" due to the amount of money it cost to use. There were other less expensive services like AOL, GEnie, Delphi and Prodigy, but CompuServe was considered the most 'professional' service (for arguable reasons).

  • I tried calling it, didn't work.

  • @KartKing4ever what it says?

  • @Dariusjat Like a dating service or some crap like that.

  • O_O i still have compuserve

  • wow, half a million members. Maybe this internet thing will catch on.

  • @Xanous No i don't buy into there lies ;) no way will this introweb business catch on!

  • Wow that is almost like it s today

  • great intro with wings hahaha

  • umm i just called. signed up and ready to get on the net

  • around the country

  • I miss the days when things were just getting started on the internet.

    It was just a good time. Hook up the 300baud and start dialing BBS's. Chat with the sysop, etc. Great great stuff.

  • Try compuserve by typing it in here HAYES dot com

  • @jdulmage1 Ohh yeah. That was stupid of me.

  • A fucking membership kit for 39.95!? When you put it like that, where do i order?

  • And this came on.

  • My dad taped me a superman tape on 1991 and is came on.

  • God, I miss Compuserve. The channels were so fun.

  • why is there a cow and a bear jumping out the screen? 0:26

  • Compuserve did not connect you to the Internet. It was a BBS, as were Prodigy and AOL in 1991.

  • @georgewashing10 Another instance where people confuse "Internet" and "Web", which the BBS was not part of. When I think of "Internet Age", I think of when the Web first got popular in late 1994/1995.

  • you thought 10 cents a minute was bad for internet cell phone was like $90.00 a month plus $1.00 minute for a call and the internet thing as late as 1998 when you dialed up the clock started ticking but the server was so busy you would wait 20 minutes for the web page to open

  • you thought 10 cents a minute was bad for internet cell phone was like $90.00 a month plus $1.00 minute for a call

  • I remember back in 1995 racking up a £200 phone bill in a month. The same day the bill came I found that my bed room window could be used as an escape route from my dad.

  • I called the number, there was a voice telling me to call another number that sounded like a phone sex line... LOL!

  • And coming soon to the internet, porn and lots of it.

  • Old Mcdonald had .............

  • I was born in 1991.XD

  • What the hell videogame is actually playing? The main character has got a helmet, lightsaber, ray gun, and some underoos.:39 Awesome

  • Ten cents a minute... *dies laughing*

    But I'd be really interested to see this "electronic mall"...

  • when I saw that haircut, I died laughing and my friend had to barf

  • lol "Offers games against opponents across the *country*."

    MMO PONG FTW

  • ¬_¬ fly reservation and online multiplayer in 1991? no fucking way. And 10cents p/minute, thats a lot of money for really slow porno -__-"

  • That would be $144 daily and $4,320 monthly if you left your computer connected 24/7.

    That's higher than most people's monthly salaries.

  • @otakumo Acutally you could not be connect 24/7 as it is dial up, all dial up services have timed disconnects plus the fact that some areas may only have 3 access numbers and when all 3 are busy then one would call a long distance number to connect to Compuserve. When I had Quicklink II back in 1993 Compuserves number was a 702 area code. Long Distance was still over 10 cents a minute during that time. You could easily pay 22 cents a minute for a long distance call. 1010 dial aroundswerescare

  • @willdav713 i knew someone who had the internet back in '96, AOL. keep in mind its rural here so no access numbers that WEREN'T long distance. and their daughter sometimes ranked up 300 and 400 dollar phone bills in a month.

  • @willdav713 Man that brings back memories of having to pay freaking long distances charges just to access American Online and Prodigy, because I lived in the middle of nowhere.

  • @willdav713 Indeed, 24/7 internet connection was a dream to me until 2005 when I first got broadband (pretty late I guess).

  • @willdav713 i dont know about ALL dialups diconnecting. i had compuserve and aol the same time would never drop the phone line even stayed a month (when they had unlimited) back in 94

  • I love that 80's and 90's upbeat stock computer music. When I was in school, I'd always pay attention to the videos we watched, just to listen to that music. Someone seriously needs to make a mix of all of that.

  • so whatever happened to this... "internet".. they speak of?

  • ZOMGOSH!!! OVER half a million thats over 9000!!!!!!

    Old McDonald Ha-

  • He does look like the head vampire from lost boys

  • Wow, these "internets" sound like an informative and productive use of time, unlike that tele-vision box.

  • 10 cents a minute.. jesus I would be broke

  • LOL! Looks like those RoboCop commercials haha.

  • nobody is gonna use such thing called internet!

  • I predict that this invention will be the epitome of class and high society!

  • WTF ARE YOU PEOPLE WAITING FOR....CALLL NOW!

  • they could not have picked a nerdier guy to promote this. people must have been like "dude, you have internet? what a dweeb."

  • @thisheartisfluid hahaha. Probably.

  • 10 cents a minute? Wow, this video would have just cost me about $5 (2400 baud modem)!

  • $6.00 and hour!

  • "OLD MCDONALD HAD-" what? WHAT DID HE HAVE!!!!???

  • Why does the guy in the video sound like his nose is plugged?

  • Lol 10 cents a minute, that's 6 dollars an hours, that's almost a minimum wage job required just to sit on the internet

  • Why did a tiger and a bear climb out of the monitor? Would that sell more?

  • @KaizokuSencho

    It was a bear and a bull dumbass. Haven't you ever been to high school economics?

    

  • Ok, so computer exchange energy in order to acess the net? Blaspemy!

  • He looks like the head vampire from "Lost Boys".

  • This hilarious...possibly the first internet TV ad ever?

  • Old McDonald ha-

  • @LifEternal LMAO

  • @LifEternal d A farm!

  • Ten cents a minute!? Am I calling Mexico!? That's a dollar every ten minutes! That's six dollars an hour! I'm on the internet constantly. I would have easily been charged a good sixty bucks a day! That's $1800 a month! Holy shit! Thank God for competition.

  • this is so cool! i can connect with people from ACROSS THE COUNTRY?!?! NO WAY!!!

  • was the cartoon they were showing for online gaming of he-man in a christmas hat using a lightsaber, wow !!!

  • 1995: 16 Million Internet Users

    2010: 2 Billion Internet Users

  • I am wondering if we had to go back to dialup again, how we'd feel... LOL!

  • The early 90s version of the Internet.

  • i'm totally gonna buy it

  • 10 cents a minute what is this long distance calling.

  • OMFG OLD MCDONALD IM BUYING COMPUSERVE

    lol

  • @saint1997 Compuserve is not around anymore.

  • @Quamlen I know... it was a joke lol

  • @jacobsipod1 I don't remember. Call it and find out. It wasn't going to be that funny once I was asked to call a NEW 1-800 number.

  • haha fucking HE man with a laser and a helmet

  • @jacobsipod1 I called it. It directs you to a new number. :sadface:

  • Yeah, they used to charge per-minute and AOL gave away free minutes to new users. LOL!

  • ahhhww cute the nerd computer and right ahead the boys cm typical of a pedo sense

  • At ten cents a minute, I'd be paying around $5000 a month for the internet.

  • Lol....I can't believe we all thought that "internet" thing was going to catch on.

  • Woahwhy is there a bull and a bear coming out of my computer?^^

    lol funny times 10 cents per minute take that, wow addicts^^

  • wow this online thing sounds pretty cool. I wonder if it could really simplify my work and enrich my life. I can't wait to play games with people from across the country. LOL

  • theres more kids playing black ops at any given time than all the compu$erve users.

  • heard of this on family guy

  • did that game have a man shooting down a jet with a pistol and wielding a light saber!?

    lol its like stuff i see on the internet |D

    they got that right

  • Hundreds of online services? This is nuts. Electronic Mall? I don't get it!

  • Dammit I wanted to watch Wings.

  • I would purchase the domain names of major corporations to later sell back to them when they wanted to get online.
