Welcome To The Internet… In 1995

Author: Rees | Date: April 14, 2008

I can guarantee that pretty much everyone reading this will have been a latecomer to the internet – hell, even I didn’t discover the mystical pornotubes until around 1999. And you can trust me when I say that that’s late… This old documentary called Internet Power, digitised from VHS cassette, dates from 1995.

It shows the state of the internet 13 years ago… Text, text, more text, and the odd GIF (and is that a video I see in there? Surely not!) all served up by your 9600bps or (if you were lucky) 14.4K modem.

There’s much more information on the video at the original source here.
