"What Is Internet, Anyway?"

[rick62008]

I can't believe that somewhere in the video internet was compared to something like programing a vcr in terms of learning dificulty. If people from the 80s\90's thought that vcrs were complicated to program give them a smartphone or...ANY gadget from todays age and their brain will explode!

[gergoooooooo]

"If you are in the market for a new computer make sure to tell your dealer that you need access to the internet".

[mgriffo123]

[techguruuk]

[MrQ8center]

internet is invented by American defense army .. the world wide web or the internet we know today is invented in 1991 by a British engineer . although none of this will happened if we didn't have electricity which the inventor is still remains unknown .

[ogicabp4u]

I got a request from a 60 yo woman once that she wanted a 'Yahoo compatible' computer!!! (Because she had a son in America with a 'Yahoo mail address' and she wanted to send 'electronic mail' to him!). the 90s ...and people in their 60s!

[mapdark]

If the internet yellow pages was still being published at this point it would take a truck load of pages and you wouldn,t get a fraction of what is actually there.

Thank god for Google.

[ogicabp4u]

@mapdark actually 'god' could not comprehend how many pages...probably beyond the concept of any amount of space that would fill up any number of infinite universes.

[shawa666]

@mapdark Fuck Google, I still use webcrawler or excite or lycos.

[OmegaWolf747]

@shawa666 Those are actually still in service?

[VicenteMosin]

The site looks like it is "quadxalay" daatt cammm - Is that right?

[somedudeguytv]

Oh man there is going to be video on the internet soon???? :o :o :o

[p38fln]

I have vague memories of dial up BBS services, text based email, and GOPHER. I really liked Gopher.

[gigglepox9000]

[KarmikCykle]

Imagine a time you would sit down with a cup of coffee and get the news off of a giant bundle of paper. Well, it's not as far-fetched as it may seem.

[XqueenofbattleX]

@KarmikCykle Yeah, remember that time when we would get from point A to point B on horseback? Yea...

[Jbreed2011]

The Internet! Is that thing still around?

[Tsugimoto1]

I cracked up so hard at "I CAN INDULGE MY DEEP AND ABIDING PASSION FOR ALL THINGS THAI."

Ha ha! Sounds like a line from a David Firth cartoon, if he made fun of this new sensation we know as... "internet."

[pannoni1]

When it comes time to do a retrospective on the '90s, this is a good choice to cover the Internet (or do we still capitalize the "I" as more and more people don't capitalize it as much, even though technically it should still be capitalized).

[Jaahhk]

haha i bursted out laughing so many times

[Arpeggiato]

Lol Peter Mansbridge looks exactly the same - he's just stopped aging.

[TheOldGrady]

You'll never see me using the internet. I won't even touch a computer. Those things will fry your brain.

[halofanteam]

I want to show someone from those reports an iPhone and watch their head explode

[lemonrind]

@dragonsword06 If you showed me the iPhone in 1995, my head would explode because of the closed architecture OS and outrageous paid app store. The Internet was free and open in 1995. We have moved backwards...

[EmpireComedy]

@lemonrind About to move backwards even farther if SOPA passes

[dragonsword06]

I want to take someone from one of those reports and show them an iPhone, and watch their heads expload

Awesome, although I had a hard time paying attention to the video at first. The DJ Shadow/Juno remix looping in the background kept distracting me.

[ovveed]
