Oh boy, have we got a great video for you today. The Washington Post dug up this hilarious 30-minute PBS segment that demonstrates the power of the Internet. In 1995. This could, in fact, be the funniest, most nostalgic video ever made. Why? Well:
- The video contains an ad for the Pentium 1.
- It urges users to use Anarchy, to “find free software from around the world”. (Remember, Google had not yet made it onto the scene.)
- The video makes constant reference to “electronic mail”.
- HP sponsored the program to appeal to business customers (the computer was not a standard home appliance at this point).
- The program warns you, “not to put your password online” and “not to put your credit card online”.
And the best part? All of this is in the first 4 minutes.
Have fun an try not to laugh too hard. After all, 20 years from now, someone may have the same reaction to your videos.
