- Alex2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46Bloody hell. ebaum steals CBC footage.
http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-75-1738-11981/science_technology/internet/clip6 - baraqiyal, on 10/12/2007, -2/+46And somebody else submitted it 173 days before you did.
http://digg.com/tech_news/The_growing_phenomenom_known_as_Internet_ - iSlayer, on 10/12/2007, -5/+48Lol, seems like everyone is talking about tubes these days. Its the new "scrolls like butter" line these days.

- borninda818, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33isn't it funny the way he says internet. Reminds my of my old computer teacher.
- neave, on 10/12/2007, -9/+41go to hell.
- merr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33"downloaded her internet?"
...sounds like something you could get arrested for :-] - affanjam, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-160820776386465403#3m36s
this link is 3 min and 36 seconds in to the video doesn't the top left computer screen look like a windows xp desktop. I don't know it just caught my eye - invader, on 10/12/2007, -10/+39waaaah.. someone submitted the same thing i did.. waaaaaaaah
- nTensify, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29BBSes.. man have times changed.
I love how the Internet is missing the "the". ("it's not screenful's of "go to hell""; sounds like he hasn't visited Digg yet).
Little sign's made of punctuation... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+32I thought everything came from ebaumsworld....
- awhiteflame, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26You know, it's 16:52 Eastern, which means that he's not going to get that internet until like, Tuesday at noon. Of course, you have to consider that the tubes are closed on non-business days and there might be some traffic from the previous weekend, and oh man. I would've waited until at least Tuesday to send it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Yes, EBaum's World sucks, but this clip is on Google Video - so it looks like someone took it off EBaum's and put it on there for once, instead of the other way around as it usually is. Of course EBaum's probably ripped it off some other site and tacked on their logo in the first place, but at least by watching it on Google you're not generating ad revenue for EBaum's World.
- Gizmort, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I love the clatter of those good ole' IBM click clack keyboards!
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16it's also missing "my," "an," and all the other ways senators reference teh intarweb... like "i downloaded an internet last night"... or "i downloaded her internet"
- affanjam, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I miss the word unregulated internet
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Is it just me who feels that it's sad to see the VERY NEXT video in Google generated playlist is "Internet is for Porn"? What was the vision and what has become of it now!
- johnsto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11wow, looks great, can't wait to try it out
- uday0210, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12"Al gore made it for the porn industry"
An Inconvenient Truth. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12"This clip has to be about 20 years old"
Actually, it was made in 2004, but it's Canada, so... they're a little behind ;) - Benjamin2040, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14'And somebody else submitted it 173 days before you did.'
:: yokel voice :: "zing" - MrZaiko, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13It's so mystical!! THE INTERNET... I love it all We need to do now is add some porn
- JorgeGT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Old times... true keyboards make loud noises when you type !
Don't you miss that sound? Or the floppy unit writing? Or the modem dialing?
Computers are so silent now :( - A-money, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10i like his mad hunt-and-peck typing technique
- scrubadub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8back then the tubes weren't a series, they were still in parallel
- cohortq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8From the video:
"there's an interesting restraint that you find...there's not a lot of cursing or swearing...not a lot of screen fulls of GO TO HELL..."
Well I guess that was before kids got onto AOL. - bocaJWho, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11...and somehow it's still accurate to the present. The US is considering regulating it...
- psients, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9No pages full of "GO TO HELL!" ...?
What the hell internet is this guy using? He should go to hell. - EasY_TargeT, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9$200 a year? Dam those were the days.
- striker1211, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Lol, the guy from britain:
(paraphrase)
"I can indulge in my passion for all things Thai"
Wonder what he meant... hehe... - wofldibofl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8i especially like how he said "borders still count for something" at the end ^____^
- henryaj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I think I just logged on to my internet.
- marnaq, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8When they quoted Stein from Oslo (Norway!), they showed a Swedish flag.
Oh, those canadians, they never learn...! - EochaidRiata, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Forwarded to Senator Ted Stevens.
- rocjoe71, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6The CBC archives have the piece dated as Oct. 8, 1993. I think that's about six months before Netscape hit the market and nearly a full two years before Windows 95. Good times.
- wisebob134, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5"there is not alot of put downs or swearing"l I like how they call it "internet" and not "the internet" Internet is an amazing thing! I Sound like robot.
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Amazing how far we've come... from BBS' to digg... just imagine where the Internet will be in another 10 years.
- esaks, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Notice how its not yet "The" Internet yet. Just internet.
- Dayz, on 10/12/2007, -8/+12"The internet is for porn"
- zforrester, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Go Peter Mansbridge!
Whoo CBC! - YoctoYotta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This CBC report was broadcast on Oct. 8, 1993
Internet is the future!
http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-75-1738-11981/science_technology/internet/clip6 - zforrester, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I love Ted Stevens
From his website: "Welcome to my home page on the World Wide Web"
It reminds me of GeoCities - tawnykw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Peter Mansbridge rules! And look how much hair he has in that clip!

"Why you think the nets was born? PORN! PORN! PORN!" - tecmec, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Old times... true keyboards make loud noises when you type !"
It's called the Model M - Systembomber, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/5003/lolrz6.jpg
LOL - natmaster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Haha, great. "Emote-icons"
- EtherGnat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It's not much of a problem. There's maybe one or two front page stories a day that have already been on the front page, and it only takes a few seconds to skip over them. "This is lame" or "This is a dupe" comments are a far bigger waste of reader's time, not to mention insulting to all the readers who obviously find the story neither lame or redundant or they wouldn't be reading the comments in the first place.
- hobophobe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I love the comparison to an 'embryonic brain.'
