How many people on this BBS can explain what the internet is right now?

Sure people know that get on their computer and 'visit a website' ... but do they really know what the internet is?

Netscape, the first browser that brought the www to the masses, didn't come out until November of that year. The Northbride earthquake was in January. Yahoo didn't exist. Email wasn't in common usage as you can see by the discussion of the @ in the video.

If you were an early adapter of email, or were using IRC, usenet, ftp, or telnet you were familiar with the internet in January 1994. Otherwise, probably not.

I remember seeing "Prodigy" yellow boxes on store shelves wondering what the heck it was. I believe that was before the "AOL" domination.

I can't watch the video cause I'm at work, but it seems likely she was asking for the benefit of those at home. That's usually the job of an interviewer.

Nope. She wasn't interviewing shit. They were all genuinely dumbfounded by the concept of the Internet.

Make no mistake....they had no clue. They were arguing how to pronounce and what was the @ sign. Funny stuff there.

Because it was in it's infancy still? In 1994, the internet was still the domain of the 1337... now we have a bunch of ****wits trolling all over the thing. Other than email, people in the media probably didn't have much contact things like the net.

I really don't find this all that surprising. Most people didn't have e-mail addresses in 1994, or any kind of internet access.
