    • @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.

    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? 😂🙈

      UA-cam was a product of it becoming technically feasible for many people to stream videos in their home. In the 90s, the speed of connections meant it wasn't possible to even stream audio, never mind a video. Getting broadband Internet in 2001, while still slower than today's Internet connections, meant we could listen to online radio stations and watch music videos for the first time.

    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!!

      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.

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.

  • @KiKiLoVedOnO
    @KiKiLoVedOnO 9 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
