Internet - from the 1990's point of view

[MrSniffles06]

Who is moving and dropping heavy boxes in the background?

[Egavaspoa]

Just think of the progress made since then! And if ACTA passes, it will all come to an end...

[fuchainsa]

Look at those outfits! This IS the 90's! I dont know if a shirt's suppose to be a sweater or a sweater's suppose to be a shirt!

[gottitgood4me]

This sounds complicated. I dont think this 'internet" thing is going to take off.

[BigSkyBeauty70]

@gottitgood4me Naaaah! it's just a toy that's going to be a fad for a while

[billyho28]

notice she never mentioned cell phones

[Tanru2000]

[Anonyhr]

If only they knew back then....

[howardkevinm]

this was probably way back when dial up probably cost $50/month or more.

[blade004]

@howardkevinm Yep you are right, It used to cost me about $60 month on dial up here in Australia using my 14.4 external Modem ;) Prior to 1995 it cost me nothing to go online except the cost of a local call to access a BBS to download something from someone's Computer within my City ;)

[BigSkyBeauty70]

@blade004 i remember those days of local BBS' and How I thought "chatting" with a SYSOP was sooo cool :)

[blade004]

@BigSkyBeauty70 I know what you mean!, when I first had a chat with a SYSOP It blew my mind! :) I actually ended up running my own BBS with a friend only about a year after that on an Amiga 2000 for which we called Dark Fusion, with himself being the SYSOP Nexus, and myself being the CO-SYSOP Blade ... lol :) Oh the good old days ;)

[xisde77]

internet is for porn

[GozersApprentice]

back when the internet was completely joyless lol

[isuckatstarcraft96]

How do I watch porn on this.

[ibprofin100]

CB radios use to be a good use of communications until the trolls took it over.

Computers use to be a useful tool until the trolls took it over..

Look at how the trolls has destroyed the internet..

[BigSkyBeauty70]

@ibprofin100 there were cb radio trolls too? O_O

[ibprofin100]

@BigSkyBeauty70 Yes, it's terribly bad nowadays and it all started in the late 1980s with CB radios, when the airwaves started getting filled up with nasty trolls.

[RainfulPhenix]

2012-

"gonna go and watch some trollolol and then log onto youporn"

[max12345678904]

imagine how big internet yellow pages would be today!

[max12345678904]

0:37 keeping up with the 90's LOL i don't know why it just sounds funny

[youskinfan]

"I come from a world you may not understand" - Trine Gallegos aka The Internet

[moakeseey]

This interweb thingy it'll never catch on

[MrSchubocks]

0:22 TRINE GALLEGOS IS THE INTERNET!!!!

[Eric2221]

remember four words: welcome, you've got mail!!! LOL

[DJReidiculousVideos]

I bet the porn on that computer was a blue screen with an erotic story in white text

[ProdigiousHdawg]

WOAH! This internet thing sounds crazy! Overwhelming, complex...I can barely keep up with all that is happening! Too many horizons expanding all at once!

But seriously, I wish the internet had never been invented, actually. People are way too dependent on it, and it's a huge time-suck that makes many people lazy. (And I am certainly not proud of myself right now for being a total hypocrite by typing this underneath a video that I found on, oh, the internet...)

[maccollectorZ]

The first time the mouse was seen by the public was when Apple released the Macintosh in 1984, and had a GUI that used a mouse. But Apple didn't invent the mouse. I read that it was invented by some guy named Doug Englebart, or close to that. I was invented in the late 60's or something, and I think it was called the X-Y axis indicator. I don't see they needed a mouse then. There wasn't a GUI, and everyone was analog. But other computers didn't have the mouse until later. Like when Windows came.

[TheSpike3000]

@maccollectorZ We meet again! xD

[TheSpike3000]

@maccollectorZ We meet again! xD

[maccollectorZ]

@TheSpike3000 Okay, this is creepy! xD Does it show you what videos I've been watching, or is this a strange coincidence?

[TheSpike3000]

@maccollectorZ No, it didn't show this one.

[maccollectorZ]

They had the internet in the 60's, but it wasn't something used in homes, and it wasn't digital AT ALL.

[RFXCGZZ]

They had Mir on the NASA news thing. This was forever ago.

[element271]

Internet Yellow Pages, now that's fucking funny, would of sucked before DNS and search engines.

[dennisgeleyn]

Look, that lady works for the Internet!

[goldbullet50]

Internet is way too popular these days. People are nearly dependent about it.

[juansebgarcia]

Imagine having a yellow pages for the internet today...

[Arnoud1987000]

hey.. i didnt knew colours were invented yet... greetings from the 60's

[Kosh800]

That computer looks antiquated even for 1995 standards. I remember around that time I had a new computer and also had AOL and Earthlink. Thought that was around '93 or '94. As much as people want to crap on AOL these days, back then it created the bare bones of what most casual users used to make the internet popular. Instant messaging, chat rooms, integrated web browser. All those things were there before (IRC, ICQ) but none were user friendly.  I remember using Fate and Ultra Fate, lol.

[nineball87]

...and then came google

[liquidus2172]

go visit this site archive.org and you'll be amazed !

[lowsten]

It's amazing that this was only 16 years ago. Not really a long time if you think about it. Imagine where we'll be in 16 more years.

[hu0189743]

Those pants......

[bassetts1899]

i like how they intended for the internet to be used by universities, governments and businesses, i bet at some point one of them deep down inside thought "i hope they don't just use it for cat pictures..."

[BigSkyBeauty70]

@bassetts1899 or fat cats playing an organ XD

[stephthestar90]

@bassetts1899 haha they left out porn, youtube, lolcats, facebook, twitter and trolls! 

[kargaroc386]

TV Tropes sent me here

[EdwardElric555]

0:17 What is this internet you speak of?

[progrocker69]

I went to order the 2011 Internet Yellow Pages, but they told me I had to lease a 40,000 sq. ft. warehouse to store it in. =(

[BigSkyBeauty70]

@progrocker69 XD HAHAHAHAHAHA



[shinokiba]

Did she said cordless phones?

[mrmomoto]

Lynx is still the fastest browser on the planet!

[cannadrys]

LOL @ Why so popular? 0:26

[ChrisPexplosion]

The internet as viewed in the 90's: a bridge to connect people and open up a plethora of activities and convenient applications.

The internet as viewed today: Trollololol, Nyan cat, pingas, fake and gay,over 9000, fap fap fap....

[reyshakquit]

@ChrisPexplosion Thats so true!!

[SilverMoonstone05]

Wow if this doesn't make you thankful for Moore's Law nothing will

[a2r1v1i2s]

the exponential growth of technology is amazing. in 10 years that technological gap will make between '95 and now look like a small leap. shit... I'm a nerd....

[Barbieee420]

LMAO i can't wait to tell my children that i'm older than the internet. they'll shit their pants.

[progrocker69]

@Barbieee420 Are you even older than BBS sites on the Atari and Commodore 8-bit computers? Born in 1969, I'm even older than Pong.

Please, just be sure to put me down painlessly.... =(

[Barbieee420]

@progrocker69 I remember Atari like it was yesterday ... but I'm about to be 22 so it wasn't so far away for me ;)

LOL just kidding, 69 seemed like an amazing era, wish I could have experienced REAL rock like you were able to.

[BigSkyBeauty70]

@progrocker69 born in 1968

[JedStephens1968]

@Barbieee420 You're not older than the internet, it's been around since the early 60's, it just became popular in the 90's when computers started being used in houses rather than just schools, in business and the military.

[ValiantVendetta]

@JedStephens1968 He could still say he is older than the worldwideweb. =D

[youskinfan]

@Barbieee420 You've probably never heard of ARPANET, have you?

[Barbieee420]

@youskinfan you would be correct ..

[Zoza15]

Internet has gone a long way of what we have now..

And her jeans are fugly as hell!.

Those are the ugliest jeans ever.

[woo2fly18]

1995?? i thought the internet was already well established by then

[makkan314]

Internet yellow pages :O

[zeroplanet9]

[Ziplock9000]

In 1995 I was using the Internet and web on a fully mouse driven UI with Internet Explorer. I have no idea why they are using DOS and Telnet.

[CaptainOvious123]

@Ziplock9000 In 1995, I was a year old. Would have been great to live through the increasing popularity of the internet

[BigSkyBeauty70]

@Ziplock9000 My Mom had a HP Pavillion with WIN 95 on it and IE ...OMG I WAS OVER AT HER HOUSE CONSTANTLY...we were neighbours as well lol

[57rfx]

He talks like a computer-generated voice

[KingCajete]

It's amazing to see in our life time, multiple times, how people adapt to newer technologies. The T.V. for example, replaced every radio in most house holds. Another is i.g. is how cell phone completely dominated lan line phones. The world is constantly moving and people need to keep in contact. Aside from cell phones, the internet, is something we've adapted too do to it's efficiently for looking up information. Now you see Facebook "Like" links on every site. Envision, 40 years from now. =)

[SteelersCardinals1]

The internet sucks. hehe

[kit33389]

Respect.

[sexiidude225]

God those people were absolutely beautiful

[Luciferminusone]

He said Star Trek The New Generation when he should've said Next Generation. Oops but I forgive him. :)

[Carotidification]

im in that weird part of youtube again

[robm1969]

check out her mom jeans

[funkgerat]

What I don't miss from that period in history is women wearing pants that force all their flab down to their crotch.

[mSwietny]

Tu Polak. Co ja kurwa oglądam... x.X

[djb3500]

And all of it at a blinding 28KBPS. Still, you have no idea how cool it was to be able to get information just by logging on and dowloading it to a (back then very floppy) disk rather than lining up and buying pamphlets or photocopying in a library.

[BigSkyBeauty70]

@djb3500 I remember the old 5 and 1/4 inch days

[neicey35]

They're not using a mouse because they're using DOS based applications. Most of you were probably were not born before GUI based OS's even existed.

[Luciferminusone]

@neicey35 I lived in Paradise California in the late 1980s in which dad was one of 1500 users on the internet but I was 5 years old so I didn't quite get what I was seeing but I knew it had to do with connecting to someone's computer but I wasn't sure how it was done.

Dad actually used the Commodore 64 with Geosweb (or something with that name).

[imcrazy525]

you can still telnet into many BBS systems.

also try telnet telehack.com

[fSITTINGSTILL]

can you hook a brotha up with a graphical user interface?

[ZippoLag]

*meeting people*

[GrumpyOldAssFart]

actually ronboitube the mouse has been around in the '90s.

I have known about in the '80s but i think it;s been around before that.

[HowtoBuildThings]

@GrumpyOldAssFart It was made back in the 80s by the company Xerox but went public because Steve jobs(Apple) stole the idea.

[mharnisch55]

lolz. internet yellow pages.

[57rfx]

Go to Command Prompt

Enter: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

?????

Profit

[57rfx]

keepin' up with the 90's haha

[yocbjone]

internet yellow pages huh? wonder how big that would have been now!

[gwyd619]

We come a long way baby

[gwyd619]

I wasn't alive

[kurisux]

Oh no, he did NOT say "Star Trek : The NEW generation"

Man your pitchforks fellow geeks, we have a 18 year old beatdown to deliver unto one old man. :D

[vortexlisa]

I wonder if they ever thought this video would also be on the internet one day...

[xRikux]

Lol, I was four in '95. XD I remember only using my first dinosaur for PC games like dream doll house and other child games. Fun times!

[Svante]

Damn! 1995!?! I don´t remember Internet being THAT primitive back then. Though I didn´t begin to use Internet on a daily basis until 1997. So a lot happened within those two years, I guess. Man, 1995 feel just like 2-3 years ago. I´m getting old ;)

[superman1113215]

and now we use it for porn

[kipikawaii708]

@superman1113215 free porn

[jvkstudios]

@superman1113215 It has always been used for porn, but you don't mention that on television

[HardWarUK]

@superman1113215 Trust me, there was porn on BBS's (Bulletin Boards) Way before the world wide web! I know, I was using them in 1990!

[gd73]

Nice mom pants.

[bardofoc]

VCR's and cordless phones??? Wow, I guess they really were out of touch back in the 90's.

[munkeefork69]

0:25 Porn.

[tjmickquickeldickel]

Doesn't surprise me that there "are actually scripts for Startreck The New GeneratioN" on the internet in 1995.

[phenal1716]

This video buffered at about the speed it would've if there was a youtube in the 90s...

[OmegaWolf747]

A little bit of privacy when interfacing. That just sounds so wrong.

[RoundenBrown]

I'd bang Trine Gallegos. 

[Supergordan64]

Takes me back to the days of the old CGI show ReBoot

[athlonz2007]

She from the ... Internet :o

[jewtewb]

Thumbs up if you dig puffy pelvises and mom jeans.

[00PandaProductions00]

WEDJIE

[gtarules1]

Wow, the internet sucked ass in the 90's! How amazing that it improved 10 fold by 2000 and 1000 by 2011!

[graspee]

I'm pretty sure most people were graphically browsing the internet by this point with mosaic or even maybe netscape. I have no idea why they are just using Lynx.

[Jakezing]

so considering that was not a GUI, why would they need a mouse?

[powerpunch180]

A "Browser?" Golly! Sure sounds complicated! :o

[luay919]

"fun things to do". just say porn

[JesterAzazel]

Anyone watching this back then was like "This will never catch on.."

[bdaleypsu]

The internet has changed - but the internet nerds haven't.

[ExarPalantas]

The guy at 1:00, you think he's still a virgin?

[ronboitube]

@ExarPalantas definitely

[kurtsnyder]

@ExarPalantas Depends on your definition of a virgin. He looks like a child molester to me. LOL!

[ExarPalantas]

@kurtsnyder: Ooooo!!! Hahaha!!!

[bdaleypsu]

@ExarPalantas

Yes, but his glasses need to be bigger.

[jackmarshak]

@ExarPalantas

No, he's a rapist.

[Clymax01]

@jackmarshak lol

[RyogaXvX]

@ExarPalantas

He was my lab partner, and after the semister, I got him laid. Was the least I could do

[Mrbaltimore2001]

@ExarPalantas I guess they didn't make on line escort sites.

[b41984]

@ExarPalantas think the chick could use a fuck

[stainlessmole]

@ExarPalantas I don't know if it's because this is recorded in VHS, but don't you think he shounds like microsoft Sam...?

lol

[jmitnick210]

Those white pants are hiked up pretty high. 90s fashion, like the 90s decade itself sucked balls mostly -- especially the early 90s.

[olennimeton1]

is that movie site an early version of imdb?

[ronboitube]

@olennimeton1 yes, probably. I can still remember when the 'I' in 'IMDB' was International, then they changed it to Internet.

[alexthehaitian]

wow! Lynx is still kicking.

[visualfxpro]

I'm keeping up with the 90s too!! :)

[applemacintosh10]

Nice pants!

[NitekMuscle]

Not using a computer mouse in 1995 during the CD-ROM era??

[lordtalon69]

I still use telnet today you newfags .... muwahaha

[shinokiba]

Oh god, what a horrible decade

[BricktownBubba]

0:30 I so look at porn!!

[zenmonk9003]

You guys make me feel old, wait I am I guess. I remember Prodigy back in 1993, Compuserve for old 8bit computers in the late 80's, man I wanted a 400 baud modem to download games for my Commodore 128 back in 1988. AOL was my first experience with the internet back in the early 90's, someone on Prodigy sent me a copy and I was one of the guys that was always in the chat rooms hooking up with chicks and exchanging pictures. Wow, it has come a long way since then.

[lukebccb]

@zenmonk9003: no one - WHATEVER ONE'S GEEKNESS - EVER admits to ever having used aoHELL.

[walperstyle]

The printing press started freaking out after this video.

[Pfalzgreven]

That Robert Hoff looks like a serial killer!

[tygersflowerz]

i remember during computer class in high school... this had to be 1995 or 1996, being introduced to the internet. teacher let us all print off a picture of anything we wanted. one-by-one we got on, searched for the picture ourselves (wowww) by typing the subject in a search engine. it was just an exercise in learning how to search, download, print. i printed off a picture of the beatles. beatles anthology special had just come on TV and they were my new fave band. :-) (still are)

[AustralianPyro]

if only they knew that 13 years later, the depths of depravity the internet would create.

[NielsjeNetherlands]

[ThatUltimateFlash]

@NielsjeNetherlands Inderdaad xD

[lemler33]

the Internet in the 90s sucked lol

the computers were slow

never know what the FAK i was doing rofl

[lokks707]

I was about 11 when we got the internet in the 95'. Not much to do on the net for a kid at the time but chat. Kids nowadays cant imagine how we managed without texting, Facebook, or stupid shit on the internet. Well, we would do a fuck load of video gaming at home, spend $10 at the arcades, and/or go spend hours outside and cause trouble with friends or the neighborhood kids.

[DrLilo]

This guy is amazing at making the internet sound as boring as possible. This'd make a good Family Guy cut-away gag, if they put his voice to animation.

[Vintodrimmer]

lol I still use links(like lynx) when i need to see some internets from my console :D

[homerjs56]

My first computer was in 93/94 and the Internet in 1996!

[principecautivo]

I remmember, the first page i saw was YAHOO! that page was sooooooooooo boring

[principecautivo]

My first computer was in 1995 and I got internet in 1998!

[wogfun]

holy shit, the internet used to suck ass! lol

[itskirstybetchx]

Ahh 90's internet. Fucking slowest thing ever :P

[Hemsy19]

I like how her name has "Internet" underneath like she's from the Internet

[allenfringe]

As much as I hate the slow Internet from the 90's, I MISS IT!!!!!

[zlcoolboy]

In the intro I thought of the internet lol. XD

[Mcmotherfuckingrory]

@zlcoolboy

Was that funny?

[zlcoolboy]

@Mcmotherfuckingrory To me it was =o
