[RottenEggCreations]

2:24 not a lot of put downs, and swearing and go to hell etc.? Yeah it's just like that now. 5:05 I say all those answers still hold up today.

[Antienetta]

They put the Swedish flag on the screen when they were talking about Oslo, Norway. xP

[punpunpunpunctuation]

Some were wondering when this originally aired. According to the CBC website archives this report appeared on their nightly news on Friday October 8th, 1993. You can see it on the CBC site if you Google the phrase "Computer Invasion: A History of Automation in Canada" and go to the first result which is the CBC archive page on computer advancement. When the page loads look at the clip index below the video and choose clip 9 "A Network Called 'Internet'".

[AppleGuy1000]

Ha, they thought that no one cussed or put people down on the Internet. YouTube comments...... cough cough,

[Funkitron3000]

the internet is fake. Open your eyes people!

[anotherguy88]

@Funkitron3000 lol, what that supposed to mean?

[jetjet360]

right now there about 100 million people who would answer u. if u asked about football

[xanafanadu]

pff. this news report is 100% WRONG! this thing called "internet" never caught on, and was the stupidest thing anybody has ever invented!

[gbc77000]

2:35 lol how times change! Assholes!

[Kazikox]

Holy shit this looks awesome. When will I be able to get this "Internet"?

[knuckles15961]

lmao.

[phatb11111]

I want to know where they got the idea that the internet was invented in America.

What happened to Tim-Berners Lee in Cern?

[evildude220]

Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!

[justmyopinionbro]

Apparently, the "don't tap in all caps" rule wasn't around back then.

[pfeilspitze]

That's 'cause many didn't support lower-case letters at all.

[Tulun1]

Not a lot of putdowns? hahahah... man I wonder what that guy would think if he saw this again.

[See4]

Wow, 15 million!

[kingbabolos]

[rogerswahn]

5.05 ...in Oslo, and shows a Swedish flag *rolls eyes*

[wiseye61]

[Hauuauuauuu]

GOSH I HAD NO IDEA THE INTERNET WAS SUCH A NICE PLACE. I MEAN I THOUGHT ANONYMITY WOULD MAKE PEOPLE RUDE BUT IT TURNS OUT THEY ARE ALL NICE TO EACH OTHER (:

lol, if only.

[73timdown]

WOW was this guy wrong about the anonymous thing.

[Ele3tricEye]

2:30

hahahahahaha o rly

[1234567loading]

If you mean the world wide web - then this was invented by a British man called Timothy John Berners-Lee (now a Sir) while he worked at CERN.

[xlNonToxiclx]

Would it REALLY be hard to find more than 3 people in a bar wanting to talk about football? What bars does this guy go to??

[avcomth]

Probably a gar bar where prople are only interested in unprotected anal sex and the growing phenomenon of the HIV and AIDS lollll.

[gerryono]

@avcomth

everyone who has ever used the internet at any time in any aspect of their lives is a raging queer

[SkithePark]

Guess what, we're watching this on.....The Internet!

[MeanGene79]

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 1993.

[usenetposts]

They were on the good old usenet groups. I remember them (as my channel name betrays)! How different that experience was to what we have today! But some things hang over to today. There were fewer idiots in those days, that's for sure. They were amazed at how few anonymous trolls there were - well that sure didn't last!

[adj789]

OMG.... guys

INTERNET!!!!

[dwilmer7]

I want Internet too.

But it is way too complicated right now.

But the thing is, I have to learn Internets because Im moving into my apartment on the moon in year 2000.

[Dimitri0809]

Video and Voice communication is what I use it for and it's better than the phone because you can see the person and talk to them.

It's better than TV because it's a system that will be able to do you're tv at the same time.

It's also very entertaining playing online games with other people from across the world.

TV is just many channels and networks but Internet can be regulated to do that aswell.

[JonGeric]

thank you internet

[TheMax614]

Probably wont last more than a year or two.

[SuperGinger94]

"...have come up with little signs made out of punctuation marks, they're called "Emoticons" "

[5StarGeneralXenoCO]

Wtf is "The Internet?" Some retarded crap probably.

[user12119]

I know it probably wont take off.

[RenegadeFury]

You can say an "Intranet", an Intranet is not an Internet.

[gir489]

[Plankhead]

2:24 "There's not a lot of cursing or swearingnot a lot of put-downs."

Well, that held up pretty well, didn't it, YouTube commenters?

[VloggerGal90]

OMG theyre using dos!!! haha weve come so far in only twenty years.

[sevenboarder]

what the F is the internet?

[Secretservicedentist]

Fuck dat bitch he dont know shit about da internet

[74Charm]

Haha, they refer to a man called Stein in Oslo who says "there are no borders in the internet.....", the problem is, they are using a Swedish flag instead of a Norwegian flag, Oslo is the kapital of Norway. Haha, no borders indeed. :-) (tilt your head to see image)

[Freecell82]

lol'd hard at "not a lot of cursing or swearing." Fuck that.

Did anyone else nostalgia at the dialup sound?

Emoticon explanation is hilarious.

"Some of the regulators are thinking of changing that." And they failed miserably and will continue to fail. Anonymity and free speech will survive. Your stupid laws mean nothing to us. We are independent of any government. Anarchy, not a democracy.

[johnnyboytators]

not a lot of cursing swearing. not a lot of put downs. not screen fulls of go to hell. What an idiot! he can go to hell .... now for the screen full!!!!!!!

[johnnyboytators]

go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell go to hell

[commissarusa]

1910s: Movies are a fad, they'll never catch on.

1950s: TV is going to kill the movie industry.

1990s: The Internet is a fad, it'll never catch on.

Now: HAHA!! I'M USING THE INTERNET!!

[fredespanish]

mmmmmmm

[afxgrin]

The Inter-what?!? huh? I'm confused, what are they talking about? Are they talking about the web?

[MountAnalogue]

So who decided (and when) to add the "the" to "Internet"?

[GameXware]

because

1. it sounded gay just * internet*

2. ALL MIGHTY THINGS HAVE * THE * infront of it.

Like The MASTER! :D

[JAHKAMREN]

the force of the internet... you can do so much with it.. i remember when i was 8 with my grandma going on aol i think it was 1997 and i never understood what it was.. lol but its a different ball game now. everyone with internet has high speed.. and watch videos play games online download.. buy stuff... its great i love the internet.

[utoobeguy]

omg it does! lmao

[Smati95]

internet comes out of control but thats a other story..

[Zerorebels]

those where the good ol' days.

[CynicalVision]

They have internet on computers now?

[logitechnc]

not yet

[norwaypatrick]

Only they knew what this "Internet" would evolve too :-]

[ptnsteognoeghneutjhr]

It's not that different from when I first saw it in 1994. Sure it's bigger and faster now, but you do the same things: input url's and click links. Email is also pretty much the same.

[Yggdrasill4]

Yeah, I was pretty much an internet junkie at age 11, around 1997. Had internet hentai, online games, email, chat, discussion boards, webcomics, starcraft, etc, etc, it was just a lot slower and looked a bit more primitive. Every time I see things from the old internet days, like windows 98, a rush of nostalgia hits me. Good times.

[RenardeBlanche]

A comment on the comments:

There are a few people saying "Go to Hell" to no one in particular just to be ironic. There are many more pretending not to know what the internet is. If you take this video comments section as any indication, you don't get "screen after screen" of insults on the internet, but rather post after post of people repeating the same joke thinking they're being original.

[UltraNSC]

@wka656 U BETTER GET RESPECT...the Only MOTHERF*CKER here is YOU, F*CKING UNRESPECT IDIOT

[SaMyZeR]

Greetings, you say internet sucks, yet you even have a Youtube Account, without even any commercial purpose, meaning your part of the internet that you call sucky. I think that it is persons abuseing internet, that do suck. And i think you are one of them. I do not realy understand what you want to accomplish with this?

[stumpy0145]
