1995 MTV News report on the Internet [video] – Holy Kaw

Media_httpfarm7static_eguex

In 1995, MTV News anchor Kurt Loder reported on “a worldwide computer network called the Internet” that boasted ten million users and featured “a proliferation of special interest truck stops called websites.” Loder goes on to compare Hollywood’s interest in cyberspace to the CB Radio boom of the 1970s as the camera flashes stock footage of Netscape and chat rooms.

Ah, the good old days when politicians tried to regulate internet porn instead of posting it themselves. Memmooriies.

Via Grantland.

Give yourself a history lesson.

Remember, 9600k modems, clunky mice and CompuServe? Man, that seems like a million years ago.

Interesting though which political party wanted to sensor it all and which wanted to protect our free speech.
