Video: What is internet? (1994)

I have a thing about old clips non-technical folks talking about the intertubes. Witness, for example The Kids Guide to the Internet from 1997. Here is a great piece from the archives circa 1994.

I love the idea that @ is the "about" symbol. And that you don’7 need a phone line to "operate internet". I also enjoy the idea that internet doesn’t need to be prefixed with "the", for that matter.

Enjoy internet everyone…
