    I think the 1990s, at least in the US, was a time of optimism. The world seemed open and peaceful. Soviets had failed and collapsed, and new technology was making our lives better. 9/11 ruined all of it and, looking back, was the worst thing to happen to this country in a long time. We’re still dealing with the negative effects of that event on our society.

      The world went to one of government control, speech laws, regular atrocities being committed in our cities (which were incredibly rare up until that point) militarisation of the police etc.

    I remember watching channel one news in my first period class and getting weekly segments about how the internet was coming. Our walls were lined with Apple IIe's at the time, but I was part of computer club and way ahead of the game. My 12 mhz refurbed IBM workstation that let me play Battletech had been upgraded to a 33mhz gateway with 4mb of ram and I was playing Doom baby after spending a week downloading from BBS's with my 33k modem and learning how to install drivers from floppy disk at the dos prompt. Windows 3.1 was cool, but everyone knew that if you needed to get some serious work done you needed to load up xTreeGold from the command prompt. The soviet union was gone and the USA was the damned best country in the world. The golden days before technology was used to exploit and manipulate us. My god how things have changed.

    Somehow even that planet photos from the thumbnail (at 7:30) felt nostalgic to me. In my childhood I was a huge astronomy nerd and one of my first experiences with the internet was when I was on my parents computer around age 9 to 10 (my parents only gave me internet access on my own computer when I was I think 13) and searching about the planets and other astronomy stuff in Google and finding these educational websites that had a lot of photos of the planets and being fascinated by them.
    This was in the early to mid 2000s and back then computers and the internet felt like a fascinating new world to discover as a kid. These early 2000s websites had their own unique style that feels quite nostalgic now.
    I also remember having educational software on my Computer myself, one was about animals and one about planet Mars, and a point and click dinosaur museum game called Eyewitness Dinosaur hunter.

    This video totally has the feel of mid to late 90's, and this is how it would have been for me back in the day, as I am now 41: the window is open on an early summer evening. It was a hot summer day, but now with the evening having arrived, it has cooled down a bit. A pleasant breeze is coming through the window, and I can totally imagine myself as a teenager again, browsing the ultra-exciting world wide web!
    Sending IM's on AOL and going into various chat rooms. Hoping my dad doesn't wake up so I don't have to get offline, because I've already been on the computer for a good two hours, and that's about as long as my dad would like me to be on. But then the phone rings and I hear the dreaded "GOODBYE!" as I am kicked off AOL.

    This takes me back to being a kid playing the Magic School Bus Solar System PC game and a bunch of other educational PC games from the mid-late 90s. I think Ecco was one of the very first video games that I ever played, but I played it on the SEGA channel.
    But anyways, thank you for making this. This is something that could have only been put together by someone who experienced it themselves. ♥♥
    Sort of unrelated, but one of my fondest memories as a 90s kid was coming home at dusk after playing with my friends all evening, arriving just in time to see Elton John's music video for 'Can you Feel the Love tonight' playing on TV.

    What a great video! Right on the spot. Times were simpler, and we used to value all forms of media, I remember I used to read manuals for games and then was amazed by graphics and simple animations, etc, later that would inspire me as a kid to draw characters in school and eventually got introduced to D&D and first TSR program back in the 90s/Y2K. Much simpler times, when we were all still having some human values, things were simplified but not to a point of atrophy like now.

    I shouldn't feel sad listening to this, but at the same time it brings back good memories-at my grandparents house playing lode runner with my grandmother-introducing her to the wonders of nintindo through an emulator-introducing her to the Starcraft universe when blizzard actually gave a shit.
    Good times.
    RIP Grandma.

    We got a family computer that looked a lot like that from Gateway in the late 90's from a Gateway store. I think my mother pushed for it after getting tired of watching my step-father struggle with maintaining the family computer which was cobbled together with aftermarket parts. Most of the Gateway boxes had "cow" graphics on them, and were big and heavy. It was enough for serve our computing needs for a while, which weren't much (Internet, word processing, spreadsheet stuff). It certainly was a time to be aware of the world back then.

    This is such a nice video. I even love how the video looks when I'm scrolling and see the thumbnail next to all the various other video thumbnails that pop up. It delivers exactly what it promises and I'm so happy to see people are making little artsy nostalgic videos about the beauty and feeling of using digital technology in the late 90s. This is so sweet and personal, to see creative people like you taking music, art, and design and bringing them together so effectively. This instantly transports me to into some of my earliest memories and emotions I can recall in my life.
    I've seen a lot of other videos on YT that use memorable 90s imagery + a soothing playlist to try to achieve that same effect but I think this one gets it just right. Well done! 🎯

    Listen I ain't been able to shake off the 90s, y'know? Got too many flashbacks from back then crowding my life. Remember every little detail like it was yesterday. Feel like I shoulda done more, like I wanna stay there forever. Can't seem to move on, y'know? My buddies got kids, some of 'em teenagers now, got their steady jobs, and here I am, still yearnin' for somethin' that ain't comin' back

    The Donkey Kong country one, with how echoey it sounds, it makes me feel like I long for a moment I experienced, when being born in 2005 l clearly haven't, the next one makes me feel like l'm at my grandmothers house with all the trinkets and the smell of potpourri, the next one feels like watching a nature documentary in class in high school, the one after that reminds me of 90's Nickelodeon, maybe Rocko's modern life or the thornberries (saw that this video had more views so figured I’d comment here as well)

    The home computer will revolutionise how the modern world communicates and explores the world of knowledge. that and a connection to the brand new thing called the internet, people can now communicate with each other from around the world and express ideas. think about how much this open digital cyberspace will educate and bring the world together, free from the grip of greed and monopolistic corporations. the future is bright, and the world will be unrecognisable 5, 10, or even 20 years from now. just imagine the possibility! soon everyone will be using Email, and much much more!

    I have a theory and I don't know if it's true or if already exists any study about it, but as a kid from the late 80's and early 90's, we grew up with so much things happening, history facts, technology boom and so on. We do not appreciate things like other generations, we did not have time for this. And because of this, we are so nostalgic.

    Whenever I think about the 1990s, I always think about how at the beginning of the 20th century, people dreamed about being able to travel to the moon, how the rich primarily owned cars, and electricity was still in it's infancy. But near the end of the 20th century, cars were a common day thing, people had their own personal computers at their home where they could look up just about anything they desired and message people across the globe and we wondered if we'd ever see someone travel to mars or even planets beyond. Those who were born at the start of the century and lived up until the end must've seen it all, it makes me wonder if people born in the 2000s like me will see the world advance so drastically like the people born in the 1900s saw.
