I definitely had not heard the word “internet” that early in 1994, and I was programming computer games and distributing them via BBS boards. So this question is normal in 1994.

About same time, what is a cell phone?

00:30 ⁉️

still can’t believe i was born the same year as the internet

This is like a re-enactment of the Garden Of Eden chapter in The Bible. Just go ahead and bite on that apple--it's harmless!

A device where i will look up clips of Gumble to Gumble when I'm bored

the internet is more trouble than it is worth. analog was just fine. a tad slower, but just fine

Allison must be the biggest MAGA in 2024

Checking in

violence @ NBC

The internet 1994 was in its infancy since then it has grown bigger and bigger just like Skynet from The Terminator

I think the more interesting story here is that there's an E-Mail address dedicated to violence... and NBC doesn't have their own domain.

A better time, the negatives of the internet have outweighed the positives.

We are the internet, resistance is futile

"What is bitcoin?" "Why would we need an incorruptible, non-printable, self-sovereign, peer-to-peer transferable, trustless, salable, deflationary currency? ..when we have the dollar..."

You can use it to look up all kinds of stuff What kinds of stuff You know, stuff Oh. Never mind.

the best proof of the insignifiance of news to explain the world. The most important thing that change our life in the next 25 years old...and they were clueless. I remember the first read about it around 1995. Did get it at all what was the point

They all have a beginning even the wheel had a beginning.

Why does he sound so hostile about not knowing 😂

I don’t think we as a society think about how monumentally different the world is after the creation of the Internet. People born in the 90s and 2000s can’t really fathom what it was like to not be “plugged in“ all the time.

When the internet was in it's Infancy and much better then today's Crappy Social Media TROGLODYTES!!😎👍🏻

Today: what is Bitcoin

And now the internet controls the entire world

I took a managing technology class in 1994 and everyone was talking about the "Information Superhighway". I had to ask what's that? Someone said, "it's like the internet." I said oh. What's that?

I remember now… Al Gore invented it

Hey anyone here who actually used the internet in 1994/95, what was it like? Also, was mirsky actually THAT popular?

I am so glad this clip exists and has been preserved. What an incredible moment in time (to us today).

Duuhhhhhhhmmmm

Internet is Undefeated

What’s crypto currency?

This video is from the year I was born. Even in 2002 when my family was getting those AOL free trial CDs for dial up Internet we were still confused by this thing called the Internet. We had just gotten out first family computer which was a gateway CRT monitor connected to a massive computer tower that me and my brothers would just use for flash games. God I miss those days of playing age of empires, rollercoaster tycoon, and StarCraft 😭

The fact he didn't even know what the @ sign was. 😂 Now that we're so used to internet, this is so funny. My first time ever hearing of internet was 1998. I read that internet was invented .... some articles say in 1989, some articles say in 1990. So if we all say 1990 to be safe, we're all correct. One article even showed the picture of the guy who invented it, and I wish I could remember the guy's name. What happened was, the ideas for the internet already existed (I think as early as the 1970s), for example, to do direct deposit, and he put all of those ideas together, thus creating the internet.

Answer: Pandora's Box.

What even is AI anyway?

I had an email in 1994 through my BBS but only managed to get an accoubt that allowed for http web browsing using Netscape 1 in 1995. Had my own web page with a whopping 400k of images and html files in it.

Can you swim there?

Flash forward to 2023....DLT blockchain is going to disrupt the world. It will move money and value the same way we move information. Many of you who read this will react to it same way people laughed at and doubted the internet in 1994.

To be fair to Gumbel, violence@nbc does sound a little ridiculous

I was a graduate student at the time and I didn't know about the internet until late'95 or early 1996. Thankfully, the university library had computers hooked up to the internet and I could get connected. Made life a lot easier. I was able to buy tickets online for the 1996 Olympics later that year.

The intent is a fad. It'll die pretty soon.

I sure as heck needed a phone line....

Gumble: "She can't explain it in 10 seconds or less. " The ladies seemed surprised. He really came off as an asshole.

What is Bitcoin? 🤭

Ladies and gentlemen - history is now repeating itself... don't end up like them, as an internet meme #bitcoin

"You don't need a phone line to operate Internet?" "No.." ............Your account has been suspended due to TOS violation for thirty days. Sincerely AOL

Mid to late 1990's was a great time to be online. The web was slow and access was expensive, but it wasn't that far removed from now in concept. Online gaming was already getting pretty hardcore by 1997 or so.

This... internet thing really intrigues me

That time again...😎😎😎

I'm still none the wiser on this topic. Whaat iz intanehtz?

the begining of sorrows...the internet....the internet destroyed us
