These videos are a gold mine for people like me who are very nostalgic about the way we used to live in the 90s and early 2000s. Thank you for uploading those videos!
Thank you to whoever the videographer who shot this is. I work in television, and it used to be a pet peeve of mine when people would shoot CRT computer monitors or TV’s and not balance their cameras to the scan rate of screens, leaving lines. Nicely done. At least with most of this for close up’s.
@@rovhalt6650 Yep. I can’t remember exactly how we used to do it, because honestly our videographers were the real experts at it and I was just producing. But it had something to do with adjusting the shutter speed of your camera or the internal modulation of the electronics in the camera to match the scan rate of the CRT monitors. You don’t usually have to worry about it today with modern flat screen TV’s with LED or plasma, because they don’t scan like cathode ray tube TV’s used to. When we did adjust though, you could only match the scanning of just one monitor at a time. So for example if you were in a room full of TV’s or if you had a moving shot moving from screen to screen, it wouldn’t work.
This is incredible footage and truly shows what the internet experience was like during 1996. There are many people today who have no idea or way to frame in their mind what it was like to browse such static websites. I think this type of video should be included in some type of digital historical archive. (Something more reliable and permanent than UA-cam that maybe all museums etc should have access to).
Its interesting how difficult getting on the internet used to be, back when it was worth going on. but now that theres no use for it, its available everywhere
@@DeE-pt5lz No. Its everywhere, its everything. But everybody is trying to get off of it. Back in the 90s/2000s, the internet used to be something that added. It was in the background. Now it's taking away from real life.
I just found this channel and have been hooked ever since. The 90s is my favorite era. It was a different world. I regret taking it for granted. I miss the 90s. I wish I can go back to 90s and stay there forever. In the meantime, this channel is an escape for me and takes me back to my favorite era.
Same. You appreciate those years alot more when their long gone more than you did when it was still present😔 I miss being an innocent kid back during the late 90s
to be fair, it's easy to laugh now because we all know how the internet works. Back then, it was entirely possible he had never used a computer before.
@@MatthewNY94 He seemed young enough to have at least used a computer, though it may only have been in school and it was probably an older type. I'm sure he was new to Windows 95 and the internet, though. I wonder why he was visiting Slate.
I'm an '06 kid, so videos like these are always a journey to a time I'll never know. You've quickly become one of my favourite channels on this site, keep up the great work!
I’ve been telling people about your channel, the way your videos are shot… it’s like your future self went back in time create a 40-year archive observing people and how our lives looked before/at the beginning of the internet age. I’m 35, and I love these videos. I’ll keep sharing your channel, they really do take you back…it’s sad though, everyone looks so much happier…no one is over simulated with the constant dopamine hits our devices/apps of today were designed for, time being wasted on a screen instead of with others, and I don’t see how things could ever go back to how they were. I’m happy in my life today, but sad for society as a whole. Also great to go back and feel like a kid again
And now it seems like things are going to get exponentially worse with all these new developments in AI. I'm not a Joe Rogan fan, but I listened to an episode today of him talking with Howie Mandel. They touched on the subject of AI, and it made me wonder how fast this is all going to unfold.
Poor guy was trying to find a website on the computer's C: drive, instead of using a web browser. The lady "helping" him is equally clueless though, ha.
I remember in 1998 going to a place like this in Temple Terrace, Florida called Cyber Cup. It was across the street from my middle school. They had internet and top-of-the-line gaming PCs all hooked up for LAN play. That's where I first played Quake 2 and saw StarCraft and Fallout. It was so awesome.
This is about the same time I can remember my dad showing me how to use the internet and the chat rooms on our home computer. Back then, it was like the coolest thing ever. I still remember the sound of the dial up modem. That crunchy, crackling sound that seemed to take forever to log on lol
@@LetharG In the old days you could open a file inside Netscape. So Netscape was a browser but you could also access local files. The design was just weird.
@@bardo0007 Now that you say it, brings it right back… you could explore a local drive as well 😄 this guy was deffo typing a URL in Find on Win 98 though whil it clearly says it can’t find files with that name. Anyhow, I think there isn’t one person on this planet who’s not had a dumb moment + it was a relatively new medium. Still hilarious af
Not sure where you're finding all of these videos, but they're not coming fast enough! keep'em coming! I've hid back in the 90s since finding this channel!
Ahh, June 1996! I had just graduated HS and bought my first modem that summer; a 14.4kbps external dialup modem for $120. Then my hard drive crashed my freshman year of college, and had to get it replaced. $380…for 1.2GB. Yes. 1.2GB. 😆
@@braidena1633 Our very first system was a clone of the Apple II, so it didn't even have a hard drive. The system we got after that was a Macintosh LC with a 40 _megabyte_ hard drive. Now that was fun.. Next came a Macintosh Performa with a crunchy, grindy sounding 1 GB Quantum hard drive that I remember none too fondly to this day. That whole system was ridiculously slow for a 75 MHz PowerPC. Found out later it was pretty gimped compared to the Power Mac line.
I like to think that the Saab 900 outside belongs to the guy who hasn’t heard of Netscape Navigator yet. I had a girlfriend with one of those and I later got the 9-3. The ‘90s were great because if you liked computers, you could use them, but if you didn’t want to, you could avoid them entirely. I had a Commodore 64 in the ‘80s and skipped almost the entire ‘90s and didn’t get another computer until ‘99. I was amazed at the graphics. Phat video!
I loved computing in the 90s, but only used Macs for most of that decade. Only got a PC when I was given one for free, and that was a huge honking tower with a 486 and a double-height 5.25" 1 GB hard drive. Such a beast of a system. I did have fun experimenting with it, though. As I recall, I even got it to burn CDs later on under Windows NT 4, though for some reason I had to include an audio session in order to burn a data CD successfully. Fun times.
@@ericwood3709 Yeah, the main problem imo was that computers were always crashing back then. If you were working with small files, it wasn’t a problem to be saving all the time, but I’m still angry with a certain Mac that cost me hours of work when I didn’t backup in time to the Iomega Zip drive.
Imagine being able to go back in time and seeing people that are now dead alive again. I think if I went back I would be smiling and awkwardly hugging everybody.
I definitely remember when cyber cafes were all the rage during the late 90s/early 00s. Before I owned a computer that's where I went to look at the net besides school. This looks like it could also be from 2004 lol.
I somewhat agree but you can tell it's definitely very early late '90's based on the chic fashion trends and even the mellow social etiquette of the time. 2004 had the same video quality but had a more dark romantic feel to it.
@@paratext I once had very soft hard candy, turns out they were left by the window. In '04 folks would shoot in 720p (or at least 480p on DVD or SD card) semi-profesionally. With respect to the hue, I remember a cold yellowish hue in '04 but that might just be PAL. Warm romantic notes were more the purview of the early 90s.
Wow this Vampire Robot is just everywhere..... He could be inside my home while looking over my shoulder as I'm watching this video now. 😳 !!!!!! 👀🔪 (😬 This is worse than *SCREAM* )
Amazing, no google back then. Social media was not a term but the concept crudely existed on some sites. Most computers could not play mp3 files as they were too weak and video was limited to grainy postage stamp sized images for a few seconds. Ecommerce, while it existed, was not ruled like it is today by the big players and so you most definitely could not find rely on it for day to day purchases but only niche items.
Although It was limited to what can be done compared to today the history of computers is interesting. I love watching the reactions of people trying to figure out what we all find so easy to use today. I remember the early 2000's internet and I'm happy to have experienced It. Cool video. ^_^
Have been thinking a lot about the person that had the wherewithal to film these. What comes to mind as someone that worked in media, is that these were B-roll clips for a project or to be sold/used for movies and broadcast news. Would love to know more about the videographer. Born in 1992, and this is such a nice nostalgia channel.
The pre 1996 videos, before the computer screens, show a level of human interaction that we don't see anymore. Now everybody just stares into a screen, shut out from the world that goes by.
I'm kind of like you (but older). In the 80s, I had a Commodore 64, I learned Basic, and was a pretty hot programmer, but the 90s were a tech void for me. I am a photographer, and only got a computer in 2003 when I went to digital from film. Windows and all that stuff were totally foreign to me
This was filmed the same year my parents got married and my older brother was born later in November. I kind of remember these computers because my dad had a computer at home similar to these when I was really little. I was born in 98 a couple years after this was made. Its so nice to see what life was like before I came along.
I use to travel often, many different countries in the late 90’s and early 2000 before WiFi. After getting a hotel or hostel I would find the newest cyber cafe. :)
This channel makes me realize why the machines in The Matrix made the simulated world set in 1999. Heck, if there was a simulated 1999, I'd want to live in it too.
My favorite thing about this video is the people walking by outside. Not a single cell phone to be seen. A video of people walking on a busy sidewalk in the 1990s would be a nice vid too. So much different than how it looks today.
I spent many hours at cyber cafe back in the day. It was a different time. I also remember the bigger Internet cafe on 42nd St. easyinternetcafe. No smart phones and you had to go to a computer to check email.
Dave's Archives has been sharing your videos on his live streams on Friday nights. I saw this video on there and had to come back here and comment. I remember when my dad first got internet access. We didn't have internet cafes in my hometown. Hasn't really been a thing. But yeah, we experimented with different internet services. Forgot what year we first got internet though. Had to have been sometime in 96-97. We tried AOL, NetZero, Earthlink, and a few free ones I can't name on top of my head. We had 56K modem most of the time. Always remembered how slow it was to download large files and images. Would take an eternity! LOL
Yes it took forever Mark. It was excruciating...however at the time we didn't know much better. If I recall, you had the Internet early because of your father's job. I'll have to look up Dave's Archives... don't even know who that is. Thanks for letting me know 😊
@@vampirerobot Dave's Archives is a good UA-cam channel. He's got videos of old commercials from the 70s to the early to mid 2000s. All from tape transfers he edits. Good quality stuff!
In a lil over a few years from this I'd be having CS LAN parties w/my buddies @ one of these places. *_Killing Spree!_* Never ordered a single coffee from one though.
8:20 "Father, I'm going to show you how the world wide cyber webz work." "Gosh my dear Gershwin........ This is quite the swell randoms of 1's and 0's I tell ya!"

There's an HD video of New York from 1993 with busy sidewalk scenes.
I had a cell phone in 96 when this video is from, sooooooo did many other people pal!!
It's so cool seeing how computers were from the year that I was born.
I spent many hours at cyber cafe back in the day. It was a different time. I also remember the bigger Internet cafe on 42nd St. easyinternetcafe. No smart phones and you had to go to a computer to check email.
Bless that 90s man's heart.
No one there knew how to use an internet browser? Trying to look up a website under “find files?” , too funny lol
He was trying to find history folder probably from netscape navigator.
Let's hope so Mahone!
Dave's Archives has been sharing your videos on his live streams on Friday nights. I saw this video on there and had to come back here and comment. I remember when my dad first got internet access. We didn't have internet cafes in my hometown. Hasn't really been a thing.
But yeah, we experimented with different internet services. Forgot what year we first got internet though. Had to have been sometime in 96-97. We tried AOL, NetZero, Earthlink, and a few free ones I can't name on top of my head. We had 56K modem most of the time. Always remembered how slow it was to download large files and images. Would take an eternity! LOL
Yes it took forever Mark. It was excruciating...however at the time we didn't know much better.
If I recall, you had the Internet early because of your father's job.
I'll have to look up Dave's Archives... don't even know who that is. Thanks for letting me know 😊
@@vampirerobot Dave's Archives is a good UA-cam channel. He's got videos of old commercials from the 70s to the early to mid 2000s. All from tape transfers he edits. Good quality stuff!
@@MarkMeadows90 I think you told me about him awhile ago. I will check him out
I’m glad smoking indoors looks extremely weird and bad nowadays. But it was cool back then
Even in 1996 I would have been laughing at the guy thinking a web site is a file.
3:53 Putting the URL into the file name field in the find file window with drive C selected as the search region. Oh, boy. 😑
This was the year that Ken and Roberta Williams sold Sierra for one billion dollars.
This dude here is using the window search function to try to open a website. This made me chuckle
In a lil over a few years from this I'd be having CS LAN parties w/my buddies @ one of these places. *_Killing Spree!_*
Never ordered a single coffee from one though.
Wonderful footage
As always thank you 😊
1996 the year of ID4
Get ready, get set, we're surfing on the internet.
Love this.
Gotta love it champ!!!!
Bro is tryna find a web site on the C drive LMAO.
Those effing 200 pound monitors! Smoking at the cafe is a national pastime!
Time Traveler at its finest, amazing!
In grand theft auto 4 xbox 360 ps3 game you can visit an internet Cafe. In fact In one mission its a requirement
*I think I remember that.* Played that game a lot in ‘08-‘09.
@@mid-s_to_earlysViBEZ same here
Apparently, this dude here is a time traveller.
I wish. I would go back to 1996 and just stay there!
@@vampirerobot Me too!!
4:35 Can’t find this dang Slate URL as a file… how about if we add a couple more slashes to it and search again? Surely that will give results!
Some more slashes lol
🤣🤣🤣
More slash! More slash!
@@LeesReviews69
Lol throw about 3 to 4 more slashes.
