Early Days of the Internet

Here is a fascinating news clip from the mid 90's describing a new worldwide network of computers called "the Internet". I remember this time well. In those days it took a bit of explaining to people to get them to understand the whole concept. Today we take it completely for granted, but it wasn't always so. While this clip is dated, it says a lot about what we knew, and didn't know in those days.

That is Crazy! It is so weird to think that people didn't think that computers would change the world. The internet is such a huge part of everyday life now! I don't know what we would do without it!
