Tomorrow's World: "webpages can load almost instantly" (with ADSL). Web Developers in 201X: "Hold my beer while I add 100 JavaScript frameworks and adverts".
Larry Bundy Jr I've been going on a Tomorrow's World binge for the last few hours. I'm from the USA so I didn't know this show existed. The fact that the tech is out of date makes it more interesting for some reason
I was 16 years old and a sophomore in high school in 2000. Watching a video from the year 2000 as if it were a video from the 1970's makes me feel very old.
Adam such incredible technology. using the power of the phone you could find out what the weather was going to be like tomorrow.. by which point it was most likely tomorrow when the report finally loaded.
I spend all day talking to my virtual head on my computer screen, trying on different sun glasses etc with the internet radio hi-fi playing in the background. Good ol' boxy grey operating system delivering me new webpages in mere minutes, what more could a guy living in the future ask for?
I was 26 when this episode came out, Imagine going back in time with a handful of our gadgets today to show off to the world! What would you take with you and why?
A phone the average person carries in their pockets normally now would blow their minds, everything in this video and more, we wouldn't even have to grab anything.
oculus quest 2 with SUPER HOT loaded up, a smart phone/watch since the camera on the smartphone alone would be mind bogglingly clear, an AR demonstration of live "LIDAR" modeling using the newest current iphone and a demonstration of AI artwork done by their own prompts.
+Mark Kiernan I think you're right. Radio neither, there is no future in it. And phones, rediculous! This elderly man had something interesting though, on his nose, seemed like two computer screens, what was that?! Look through glass computer screens that show all you need to see, sounds interesting.
@Major Nanreik The Internet, to give it its full name, was not designed for powered flight, so, unless you're being in some way ironic, your comment seems a little fatuous.
I remember when I went on the internet for the first time in August 1998 when I was 11. My dad had won a new PC at work in a raffle drawing and it had a built in modem. I remember my dad got AOL going and he showed me around the AOL home page. At first, I didn't understand the significance of what was going on. I then noticed there is a weather link on the AOL homepage and found that I could get weather information from around the world anytime! I just realized that unlike television or books, the internet can bring information to me on demand. I first experienced broadband internet in 2000 when my mom took me to her office after picking me up from school. I had some school projects and my mom told me I could just use her computer to go online. I remembered asking my mom to show me how to dial-up online. She told me I could just open Internet Explorer and enter the web address. I was amazed first that I didn't need to spend minutes to dial up online and hitting busy tones. Then, I was even more amazed that the pages loaded so fast. At home, I would keep magazines next to the PC so I can read them while pages loaded. I asked my mom how the internet connection works at the office and she told me that the company has DSL. From that point on, I wanted broadband internet at home. However, it wasn't until 2002 that cable internet was available in my parent's neighborhood. I asked my parents to sign up and they agreed. They were happy that I no longer tie up the phone line causing them to miss important phone calls and racking up phone bills. I was happy that the internet was always on and fast even though it's very slow by today's standard.
I upgraded to cable broadband 18 monrhs after this show, and it was 512Kbits download speed (64KB/s). By 2007 I had bought a Tevion WiFi Internet Radio from Aldi and my broadband was 4Mbit and shortly later 10Mbit/s!! By 2011 it was 50Mb/s and now I am on 200Mb/s since last summer!
My apologies, I was just openly remarking on how things have progressed in a short space of time. Since 2002 my speed has increased to be more than 300 times faster. Nobody could have foreseen that in the 1990s.
I didn't use Internet until 2006 when we got 10/10Mbps fiber (before that my parents used dial-up and some GPRS modem), we had that same speed until early 2017 when we upgraded to 100/100Mbps. In 2020 we upgraded to 1/1Gbps and will probably keep that for years because there is nothing faster available and none of our PCs have faster NICs
Anyone else finds it nostalgic to see old monitors with all those cables and ports. Everything is so simple today and I'm not complaining, guess nostalgia makes us miss old crappy things.
In 2000 I had a 25 Mhz IBM ThinkPad 700-series notebook running Windows 95 with monochrome display (capable of displaying 64 shades of gray!), a Hewlett-Packard desktop with an Intel Pentium 66 Mhz chip running Win98 complete with 5-1/4 and 3-1/2 inch floppy drives, and a Palm III that I could sync with my computer via serial port, thus allowing me to keep a digital schedule, contacts, notes, train schedules, games, and even compose e-mails which could later be sent with a sync operation. Didn't get my first cellphone until 2003.
I can remember watching this with my dad when I was 12. Was one of his and my favourite shows at the time! Really was a different world back then... Good I feel old!
That's why Tomorrow's world finished, everything that has been envisaged is available, touch screen displays, smart phones, powerful processors, Wifi, all here. Looking back to 2000 looks so primative, using a pocket PC to play images from a phone - poorly.
This is just remarkable in *so* many ways - to think its only fourteen years ago as well, but looking at those tiny, pixellated web videos (that take an age to download) in comparison to the immediate HD we get on youtube feels like we're several hundred years ahead of 2000 already. Plus the exciting idea that phones will be able to play movies and TV shows (back when most people had black and white monophonic Nokias), digital cameras with 8mb storage, and perhaps my favourite bit at 26:41 - a couple booking a holiday to Florence *on the internet* for what is today a stupidly huge amount of money, given you can fly there on Ryanair for about £40 return! I remember having just started secondary school around the time this aired and one of the kids had a WAP phone they were excitedly showing everyone. 7:37 takes me back to the sheer underwhelming disappointment we all felt when we realised how essentially useless it was. Show me an iPhone 6 back in 2000 and I'd have probably fainted in the middle of the playground.
Billy Hicks 2014 seems like only yesterday... HD... Wow, I remember those days. Now we are streaming 4K HDR 60fps over Fibre Optic. How did we live with blurry slow 30fps HD? 😜
Christ! I remember next week like it was just last Tuesday. My internet connection is crap cos we don't have fibre optics in my street. Fuck knows why, I live in a big city. At least I can still hunt down furries on the internet.
@@brianmchugh7679 I think it was around 2000 or 01 in my early teens when my home started getting internet. Ah the good old dial up days when a single high quality song took 30 minutes to download, and the slow 100 row of pixels every few seconds, load time of some playboy models’ titties.
' we were hoping to speak to a young man called Mark Zuckerberg but we've been told by his mom and dad that he's busy on his homework project.

Face n' page' We wish Mark luck with his project and who knows...we might hear more of him in the future...' Now to our sports desk...
Amazing to see the birth of all of this - I got the internet just one year after this was broadcast. And just think - in 20 or 30 years, what we are doing now will look just as old fashioned.
***** i dont have a iPhone. And no there not lol come on hahaha what pc in 2000 could run 1080p 60fps video lol and games that phones can run now dude. The specs alone are way ahead its a fact
+Jonnyinfinite No, the G3 was much too slow for that. It really took a G5 (PowerPc 970) running at 2,5 Ghz to get HD video running smoothly. The Macs at the time didn't have a videocard that supported video decoding, so it was very depended on the Cpu speed.
the faster the Internet became, the more adverts and spam people plastered on their sites.. the end result is it still takes as long to browse the net today as it did then.
That bloke looked so happy he found the same surname as his on the Internet. This looks so old yet I was an adult when it came out. I’m old (so is this post)
Yikes! The year 2000 doesn't seem that long ago to me, but this tech looks really outdated now. And the pipe dreams of then are reality now. Everyone has the internet today, even old folk who still find the teapot a modern revolution.
old folk today were already using far more complicated to use computers back in the 60s and 70s. you could type for an hour and then press 'send'and if there was one mistake , the whole system crashed. Just remember computers have been around since the 40s
People didn't own a computer personally until the 80s in most cases, but computers existed in one form or another for businesses and governments for ages.
We in libya were late like 7 to have our first ADSL line setup and of course i was one of first users of it , it's was 128 Kbps at first lol couple years it jump to 512Kpbs that's was dream for me since I was able to meet UA-cam first time in 2008 (five years late to party )
Wow all the things we wanted from 2000 we do have it now, fast internet, fast portible internet, realtime online gaming, live streaming video, and i got to say i really like those pc’s and the interior from that era, and you know what i remember how the dutch goverment showed their plans about amsterdam in 2020, i was like “ oh no i don’t want to think about 2020 i want to think about what’s now” well here we are in 2020, holy fuck!!!
Online through a phone line since oct 1997 myself. On my pentium 100. By this time I used a cable modem broadband provided by upc. Over the next years I bought a celeron 500, an amd atlon X2 (1.1GHZ), an Atom N270 and my main driver is currently a minix mini pc atom x5 series.
Imagine what the word will look like in 2030 if 2021 has BTC, DeFi and all the crypto developments starting to gain traction. A show like this today could really help people get their head round these things. BBC Click just isn't up to snuff.
From my point of view the Internet went from very technical in 1993, then the Web made it a bit easier but you still needed at least two applications to get on the Internet. People went from marveling over the technology to marveling over the Web itself and their connection speed. Gradually PC, Mac, Linux didn't matter everyone just wanted on the Web. Then always-on high speed connections. Then the Web on mobile appeared and now many people seem to only care about the Web on mobile phones so they can watch music and cat videos. I'd be scared to predict what the Internet will be like in ten years in 2027.
@@brunster64 Ah, yes, of course. To your point though, perhaps you're just about old enough to remember that the 70's were dedicated to letting you know how three-pin plugs were to be wired.
The most Ironic is the "wap" with it's beautiful cloud on a monochromatic 1" screen. 15 years later we have 1080p screen in our pockets with 4G, the full internet, touchscreen and more computing power then those bulky pieces of dump they called a pc. I wonder what we'll have in our pockets in 15 years...
Lemon Chief ah yes, I remember wap on my ancient windows ce mobile. on the 25 minutes bus journey I managed to browse 3, yes 3, Web pages and it 'only' cost me £1 for the data.

Then always-on high speed connections. Then the Web on mobile appeared and now many people seem to only care about the Web on mobile phones so they can watch music and cat videos. I'd be scared to predict what the Internet will be like in ten years in 2027.
The first cybernetic implants for neural internet connection.
Yep i also come from the before time, the long long ago, BI -before internet.
When he's asking the old lady about WAP I lost it.

In 2000 I’d already been “online” for 7 years, firstly with BBS then very expensive dial up - I remember watching this TW episode with some amusement
What is BBS?
Banjo Pink - Bulletin Board System
@@brunster64 Ah, yes, of course.
To your point though, perhaps you're just about old enough to remember that the 70's were dedicated to letting you know how three-pin plugs were to be wired.
You were quite an early adopter

Less than 20 years later and we're using things daily that they couldn't even imagine.

@@erebostd Why so bleak? Are you anticipating a sudden outbreak of socialism?
Banjo. No rather an outbreak of dictatorships. With all the Cambridge Analitics and such.Fake news will always be more pwerful than real news.
@@boowonder888 What did socialists use to light their houses before candles?
Electricity.
If you think about it we haven't come that far since 2000
I'm actually surprised at how modern a lot of this technology is

My joystick blatantly has more flashy buttons, birds dig the flashy buttons.

"Who will win the US election?"
"I think Al Gore will win."

The most Ironic is the "wap" with it's beautiful cloud on a monochromatic 1" screen.
15 years later we have 1080p screen in our pockets with 4G, the full internet, touchscreen and more computing power then those bulky pieces of dump they called a pc.
I wonder what we'll have in our pockets in 15 years...
Lemon Chief ah yes, I remember wap on my ancient windows ce mobile. on the 25 minutes bus journey I managed to browse 3, yes 3, Web pages and it 'only' cost me £1 for the data.
Elliot didn't know it at the time, but he, and people like him were actually about to become known as a new breed of humanoid being, called "Basement Dweller"

Internet never heard of it! Is it something like ceefax?
