Viral: Internet Power

Check out what the Internet was like in 1995 with this promotional video that Waxy.org have posted:

My favourite bit:

“You’ll need a device to access the online world. That device is a Computer, with at least 386 power and 8 megabytes of RAM and has a modem installed that has 14.4 or greater speed or ‘baud rate.’

And of course, access to a phone line. If you have a slower modem, you will not be able to enjoy the growing multimedia aspects of the Internet, such as graphics, sound, and video.

You will also need a connection to the Internet that connects your computer to the millions of other computers that make up this Superhighway of Information.”
