Whoa, that internet thing seems so great.

I hear they even got clips from movies on it! Some might be 8 MB in size even!
 
90s Internet was the best.

3 meg clips of porno that took 35 minutes to download.

I don't think it was 97, but in 98 sites dedicated to linking to a vast amounts of imagery in a well categorized manner took off. The content would rotate daily and you could keep yourself busy.

Wow, but does the internet have places where people can discussions and conversations, if so do you know any?

They got like...these chat rooms and people talk about everything. All your favorite shows even. Or video games.

Some people keep making weird things like ;) for some reason in them.

Should have used some outdated terms like The Information Super Highway and World Wide Web.
That's actually a thing though.

The whole HTML web pages/browser part of the Internet, that's the WWW.

I guess most people didnt quite know what they were referring to when they used that term.. But it was the reason the Internet exploded when it was invented at the beginning of the 90s, so they were right to call the part of the Internet they cared about the WWW.


At 10:31, "What's a browser?" Loved it.
I'm pretty sure my mom asked me this earlier in 2013. :p

This reminds me that I know one of our local internet porn pioneers. He created the first trully popular smut page and made a lot of money for quite a while. He received a few juicy offers right before the.com burst and he declined all of them because he thought that it would be akin to selling the goose that laid golden eggs, only to get steamrolled by the competition in just a couple of years and become utterly irrelevant. Now he makes his dough as a domain speculator/SEO scum.
