I remember that sound vividly, and like I said I am only a year or two older than most of these kids.

    • @alvallac2171
      @alvallac2171 4 роки тому +9

      Indirectly, but yes. Netscape 6 was open-sourced as Mozilla Seamonkey, which a suite of software in one very bloated program (browser, email, calendar, address book, WYSIWYG HTML editor, and I think maybe newsgroup reader). Seamonkey's installer had an option to do a browser only install. Later, they used that code to create Phoenix as a separate project. Phoenix was renamed to Firebird, and then to Firefox.
      I'd say you're most right, but oversimplifying. There are other projects like Thunderbird (email client) that are also a descendant from that Netscape -> Mozilla Seamonkey effort.

  • @LeeFearn43
    @LeeFearn43 2 роки тому +31

    I was 15 when the internet first came to be. It was new and extremely innovative. I remember being at Secondary School and going to the library to have a go on this new technologically advanced thingimajig. I'm now 40 years old and I can honestly say the hype when the internet/world wide web first came out was huge. We had seen nothing like it before obviously and I remember the mass of desktops that were sold at the time was immense just so people could try the Internet out for themselves. Good times.
    However, dial up internet was a huge pain. You had to connect to the Internet through your phone line so everytime a family member wanted to use the phone and they picked up the handset it would disconnect you from the Internet. The speeds were very very low compared to todays standards. It used to take me about 25 minutes to download a 3MB song. I used to connect to the internet via AOL which I think costed my parents about £15.99 per month if I'm not mistaken. Ahhh, the good times eh? 😂🙈

    @KiKiLoVedOnO 10 років тому +15

    Printing a page off the internet back in the 90s was a considerable accomplishment. By the time you waited for the dial-up to connect, you'd have to wait for the pages to painfully peel to the screen. Once that happened, you'd wait for your printer to take a minute or so to print the page, then you'd have to lay the pages out or fan them so the ink wouldn't run. It's funny to think how much things have progressed since then

  • @noradennis4361

    I'm of the older generation BEFORE the Internet. Where if we had to look up anything for class reports we'd have to use the card index file in a library and find the corresponding book, now of course the information is just a click away. As an older individual (between 40 and 80 :)), I find the modern technological age fascinating and amazing. Now I can't imagine being without a computer and able to browse websites such as UA-cam. :) I also remember having dial up and when a phone call would come through you would get kicked off line and downloading anything would take FOREVER and the speed was slower than molasses in January!!

    • @Katsuya89
      @Katsuya89 10 років тому +29

      Good to see someone from an older generation keep an open mind to new technology and actually learn how to use it properly. I think anyone can learn new things regardless of age. It's just when we get older, we tend to start thinking we already know everything. Therefore, we stop learning new things.

      ***** I personally like using my local libraries ebook and audiobook services. The access they give to my states academic database has proved invaluable and is frequently used from home. The World Public Library is accessed for the books I can't easy get from local branches, followed by project Gutenberg for permanently downloading public domain works.
      None-the-less, I still have to resort to amazon (& similar sources) for the rare books that aren't offered by the above--namely consisting of the gems among self-published works. Similarly, I'm still fond of collecting permanent copies on rare occasions. ^^

      I'm in my early 40's and remember that time as well. Strangely, the first time I used the Internet was in a Library! It was a terminal connected to the mainframe at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I was connecting to the gophernet and was amazed that I could connect to computer systems remotely and browse data there. After I got my first computer, I was able to connect to the mainframe from home over kermit and remember I used it mostly to look up books in the library, record their location on paper so I could go browse or check them out the next day.

    These kids think that they're so internet savvy, but yet they don't know what a modem is? Practically every home w/ internet uses a modem, which is true today as it was 15 years ago. But nowadays, it comes in a little box with blinking lights that sit outside the computer rather than inside it. Modems should more noticeable and common now than it was back then, yet somehow these teens seem clueless about it.

    Oh my, remember how slow it was. Dial up like he said, so you had to wait. Then web pages took long to. First the top banner would pop up, then some stuff underneath it, the stuff on the sides, them maybe after 20 seconds your page was downloaded. No video whatsoever. You could do audio ok, songs were possible, but still took some time to get it playing, maybe 30 seconds, don't really remember. But really not many places to hear songs at, and it was limited. I can't remember how I got to them, like what webpages they were at.
