This was incredibly funny. I enjoyed it so much. Very well explained, and not boring. By the way, could you tell me how you get them fancy letters to pop around the screen? I assume it is a special software? Thank you for the great video.

@chvern Thanks for the kudos! All animation was done in Adobe After Effects. You can see similar examples of the style by searching "Kinetic Typography" in Google or YouTube.

who's the old guy saying he took the initiative to create the internet?

[DNSMadeEasy]

@potatoqueue Vice President Al Gore. He misspoke, and has actually poked fun at himself for the quote.

Would it not be better to use correct IP adresses in the video?

Or is it me that is just too focused on details...???

[DNSMadeEasy]

@100radsbar We use one correct IP address at around the 1:28 mark that actually goes to our login page. The reason we elected to not just use random live IPs in the rest of the video was we knew people would try to access them.

It would be more accurate, but we'd rather not post potentially offensive or malicious IPs accidentally.

Thanks for watching!

i wish the innernet was tubes cuz if they tubes was big tubes i could excape thru them when the cops shows up

[potatoqueue]

i think the old guy with glasses only visits youTUBE, redTUBE, pornTUBE so he actually thought the internet is just a series of tubes.

Everybody who watched this video is now better educated about one of the most critical technological advancements in the history of the human race than the members of the US Congress.
