0:46 wtf, they couldn't think of a shorter title :) lol? damn

[tallyhoman911]

a cheap little 200 dollar camera LMAO

@tallyhoman911

What's even funnier is that $200 then is a little over $300 now. When you can get a webcam now for $20 or less, it really puts it into perspective.

where can I buy this 'internet'

[Anarchist86ed]

I don't think this internet thing will ever catch on.

[Akrubas]

Haha. Cheap little $200 camera.

3-way video conferencing over dial-up in 1994? That's impressive! Yet Apple won't let you use FaceTime over 3G... doesn't add up does it?

[Booth789]

@djpob It's Apple. Apple is gay.

[mikecsiy]

@djpob Yeah... that's definitely not a 1994 era dialup. Their organization probably had an ISDN or T3 line. Streaming audio BARELY worked on a 14.4k dialup connection.

And back in the '90s, people ALWAYS capitalized the word Internet. Most style guides still suggest so, but an increasing number (such as CNN) are decapitalizing the word!

Sweet vid. I love looking at these primitive internet things.

[redneckcaseyjones]

IM suppressed this hasn't got more hits, 90's kids dont know where the internet came from.
