It wasn't like this in the UK, I remember our school had a whole room full of computers connected to the internet in 1994. We were taught about the internet as part of our education as our government has always invested heavily in anything to do with computers and information. Today all children in British schools are taught computer programming and application development.

No it wasnt, I finished primary school until 1999 and I had never used or heard of the internet until then and it was the same for most others, I had an IBM pc funnily enough but had no notion of the internet. Got my first "proper" PC the same week age of empires 2 came out, so late 1999. High school came around and the internet was literally just starting to become main stream and didnt have that much popularity in school or good access on the computers and this was then the biggest school in the UK, now its the 2nd biggest. Internet was popular in universities before 1999/2000 but until then most households had never used it. Think about when the internet was becoming mildly popular, its the same time people used the free AOL trial discs you could get, which was 1999. You might have used it in school before that to load some clip art images into a document but that was probably about it. 1999 was literally the year most people had used the net and YET, less than 36% of the population had used it by then, mostly academic or work related. Article from late 2000, news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/826834.stm, not even 25% connectivity then in the UK.

@@marlondeason4806 yet computers started making cd burners standard in towers. Remember that power when you got your hands on your first one?

CD burners only got affordable in the 2000s, which coincided with broadband (fast) internet and Napster. For reference, I downloaded a leaked new song in 1997. It was in a .wav file and it took hours to download. I hooked the computer audio out into my aux input on my stereo and recorded it to cassette tape so I could play it in my car.

And now look where we’re at lol

Even as a little kid at the time in 1994, my knowledge of this subject matter was miles beyond these hosts. Especially after watching this video and reading this comment, I now miss those days of feeling superior. With a moment of bitterness, it's hard at the moment for me to say the geeks inherited the Earth when the first KZfaq video I noticed to ever hit 1 billion views was a music video on Taylor Swift's official channel.

+dugroz Probably because it was 1994 (21 years ago -- eeeek), and as far as they knew (or as far as I knew, for that matter, in 1994), it was like asking "Can you explain what Radio is?

Internet 3.0 is being built out right now and it is going to move value and money the way that we move information and the confusion the fear and the talk around it is just like it was in the early to mid-90s with the first version. All the same doubts and miss understanding. Lots of bad information and crooked people always in early stages of a new unregulated technology....but the technology never goes away

Im 23, now Im hearing about Ai in the same way you might have heard about the internet… this time, there is a feeling of anxiety. I wonder what will come of this all

@malice4422 I really don't know exactly what will play out next, but I'm Elon Musk's age, and I've got mixed feelings for the man, but when he speaks about technology, I listen! The guy is one smart cookie! I couldn't imagine growing up in your time on earth having the technology that was just stuff one could only dream of!!! Don't get me wrong, as a product of the progress of tech, you younger generations make us look like stone age cave people! And I used to joke about that but not anymore! It's advancing so rapidly that it's like watching a monster double in size year after year!!! The year I was born 1970 looks NOTHING like today! I remember music going from 8track tapes going to cassette tape (that I had over 8 or 9 hundred of after years of collecting, then C.D. disk was introduced!!! Man ...I remember thinking how in the Hell was I going to switch my music to C.D's?? Then about the time I was getting my collection back up after spending big money because C.D's were $12-$18 bucks at the time! Lol then hello internet! The mp3 player was next then digital finally arrived to still be top dawg today! What you will have seen by the time you are my age will probably blow you away!! What's next?? How fast will this change take?? Will we survive?? All I know is it's all speeding up at an insane clip and time will only tell. I also remember growing up during the cold War with Russia and I remember worrying about nuclear war! Then it was over and I thought we'd never need to worry about it again. Look what's going on now! I pray for all of us! Especially the younger generations. People used to be kind to one another. That's been gone since 9/11! It's absolutely terrifying really. Good luck to you ✌️

@@Wilders53 Dude, I think about these things all the time. I always look forward to the future because I wonder all of the changes that will go on in our lifetime. I wonder which things we will be right about and which things we will be sorely wrong about… like considering the way we have let social media and screens become such a demanding presence on our lives.. I wonder how that will present itself 20-50 years from now. I wonder if people will see that as a big oversight in our culture, like how everyone was smoking cigarettes indoors in the 1950s. When I see someone significantly older than me, I always think: holy cow, you went through a lot of societal changes and we keep rapidly going to a place of unprecedented, rapid change. You were born in a totally different world than me it seems… it’s so insane to think about! When I was a kid, I had nowhere near the technology access as this upcoming generation… I got my first phone at 14 and although it was around the time that social media was really kicking off, no one was fully adjusted then. It was still in its “fun, innocent time waster”stage. People posted silly pictures and said random stuff. People played fruit ninja. Nowadays, kids were raised on youtube instead of TV. Those are the new celebrities. They have had phones in their faces since birth and they can’t remember a world without such constant technology. But among my generation, it’s normalized to be on your phone in bed for multiple hours a day, scrolling tiktok (rotting in bed, as it is popularly known). Depression is at an all time high… I mean, what’ll it be in even 20 years? What does all this lead to? When does this constant feeling of anxiety and lack of trust in our systems burst? When is the next big crisis that will make us realize we need to drastically change things? What does a generation of ipad children do against rising housing prices, rising inflation, wider wage gaps, infiltration of surveillance and screens/tech… As asked by Mark Fisher: “What happens when the next generation stops creating surprises?” What then?

Six years later it's still the current state.

The difference is that most bitcoin is nothing more than a modern day multi level marketing pyramid scheme/scam

And then she confidently says "No, no". Phone lines were absolutely necessary for internet use in 1994; there was no other way to make a dial-up or digital subscriber line connection. It all worked via smoke signal as far as she was concerned.

I had a friend who had a T1 carrier link at home, where he had servers with anime and NES roms. He did some of the anime rendering to real video format himself. This was circa 1996.

A lot of people in the UK had BBS in the 90's, it was a big thing here. We had the internet but it was very expensive and was only used in schools to educate children about the future.

Female viewers decided that Pauley must have been pushed out by the younger, prettier Norville, and they bombarded NBC with thousands of angry letters and phone calls. Despite winning an Emmy during her tenure, Norville became unpopular with the core female audience, and ratings fell.
