1994: "Today": "What is the Internet, Anyway?"
Loading...
Uploaded by VortexTech on Jan 28, 2011
Some confusion is obvious on the set of NBC's "Today" show, regarding the Internet and the @-sign. This is reportedly footage from between segments that was not originally aired, and apparently dates to January 1994, around the time of the Northridge earthquake (that occurred literally five minutes from where I'm sitting, and which I remember very well indeed).
Both the video and audio of this clip were in terrible shape when I received it recently -- I've cleaned up both as much as possible, though the quality (especially hue distortion) still definitely isn't anything to write home about.
Don't laugh too hard at Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric. It's easy to forget how relatively recent a phenomenon the Internet is for most persons who use it today!

you know what would be funny? if someone were to somehow someday harness the power of this thing called the "internet" to then share this video with others who would mock us for how little we understand about this "internet". that could never happen...right?

"What is the Internet anyway?"
"That's something that people will use to watch you in 15 years and laugh their asses of because you asked!" :)

That sir, is the correct response.
Well done... There would be a prize, but unfortunately I don't understand how to send one over internet.
What is it anyway?

I'd be interested in knowing that, too. Actually, the _Demolition Man_ folks have admitted there never was any explanation. Great running joke, though.
