The Internet Imagined in 1969

July 8, 2009

Courtesy of Jaffe, here’s a video that depicts the Internet in all the glory we know today… multiple screens and keyboards. Video everywhere. We’re almost here, right?

And it was created 40 f’ing years ago (yeah when I was born and just shut up).

Slater- this is begging for a parody. I swear it will go more viral than our “History of Videogame Violence (which is, to be fair, in the first page Google results for “videogame violence parody).”

I know you can do this voice, and have music loops as awkward or worse. I’ll see if wifeofnalts can do her hair.

They lost me on some of the technical jargon, but this was very interesting. Thanks for posting this.

Wow how right, yet so wrong these old people were.

I remember my dad booking flights on Prodigy in 1987. This was fake but pretty darn accurate.

This would be so funny if a parody was done in the style of Mystery Science Theater 3000

The ‘scratches’ on the film loop. Pick the right hand corner and watch closely.

Outstanding — I’ve been in a creative “valley” lately — this looks like just the ticket.

@4 Did someone say parody?

You nerds get erections at the mere mention of plug’n'play circuitry, don’t you!?
