First of a two-part VHS tape from 1996 about the Internet that I digitized. Many, many notes and screengrabs here:

4:30 Mosaic browser made in 1933?! Whaaaaat....????? O.O
Right.... at 4:36, the moderator states: "...it was the development of the MOSAIC browser in 1933 at the University of Illinois ..."
I noticed that too. Was about to comment about it
This is a great collection of videos, it's like a trip down memory lane for me! Lycos, Geocities, the browser wars (poor Netscape) The 486DX, and online games through Telnet/ null modem ports! Those were the days! Thanks for putting this stuff up.
LOL I remember the web back then when pictures was few and far between and video was recorded with potatoes. I'm getting old.
"ultimate tool for learning" yea, ultimate tool for copy-and-pasting :)
This "internet" sure looks interesting, maybe Ill give it a try someday.
wow... 1933... I think my brain is either file corrupted again... or I just woke up again... I need to learn this 1933 thing again... chucks! I forgot my computing history again... REWIND!
Lol. "The Mega Internet Shopping List sounds promising to me!" That's awesome! Thanks for sharing these videos!
Nobobdy knows more about the Internet than Bret Arsenault
4:39 Im pretty sure Mosaic was developed in 1993, not 1933. 😄
Awesome Nostalgia!
4:37 he said 1933 meant 1993
"HTTP... two slashes, a colon. Double u, double u, double u dot yahoo dot com"
The colon comes before the slashes.
Oh yes, I quoted the guy wrong.
4:35 I don't know what application it actually is, but it looks like the Minecraft icon may have found some inspiration somewhere.
Didn't watch this hold thing, did they mention BORED.COM?
4:40 its 1993 not 1933..
Those little kids in the video are now in their mid-20s and probably knocked up.
Sweet, a vaporwave music video
22:56 PBS.org has come a long way. There was a time when I thought web browsing was incredibly futuristic. I remember when America Online gave its subscribers web access through a primitive browser in September of 1995, I believe.
Yes, with free setup disks sent every week in the mail offering 100 hours of free connection...
@@algomaone121 Thank you for confirming that. I had forgotten I commented on this video in 2015!
AOL, MSN........that was a time!
Did anybody else go to yahoo.com after watching this? lol I just missed the bastards.
I wish we used the term "hyper text" more often.
Yes, that term lost its potency very quickly. I think because the internet became so common quickly, nobody needed the term, and it’s easier to say “click the link”.
Minecraft at 4:34 time travel confirmed!
+KerbalEssences holy shit dude
Wow. Maybe Mojang literally got it’s dirt graphic and Minecraft idea from that icon??? It would be very Internetty to do that, wouldn’t it?
vaporwave
what software did they use to record their screens back then?
There were hardware-based capture options, which would plug into a serial port and output to VHS and so forth. It wasn't great, but did the job :D
If you have a slower modem (slower than 14.4 kbps), you can't access multimedia....
LOLOLOL! Too funny
Do Gopher sites still exist?
If you try to find them, I bet you could.
I just tried gopher://gopher.floodgap.com (won't work modern web browser), and yes, there are still gopher sites.
parm flakes and windows....
19:02 Cool, early online piracy.
'porn' gives 200 million hits on google; I hope that will not be our legacy
16:48 epic
0:45 three middle age white men have discovered The Internet
and then..reddit ruined the internet.
No, Napster ruined the Internet!
