Wh@ is the Internet?

I had to post this, I found it out of boredom and just cannot help but to think there was a time where people did not know what an @ sign was... Thought that the internet worked like a mailbox or something, it just really made my day a good one.

Cheers ATS, take a break from all the arguments, be glad we have such a gathering place on these somewhat capturing world wide webs...

Is the internet a living organism, fueled by individuals working as a collective?

Nice video, though. If the internet was "big" back when they couldn't pronounce web addresses, and when they say things like "what is the internet, anyway?" what is it now?

Now, it is a mess... It is a galaxy policed by defenders of the anti-freedom.

But it's also an addiction thank goodness

I've seen this video before and it is classic. I can identify with those people because I was around when computers were something only businesses could afford and most people had never even heard of internet..

That sounds like what it is going to be in about 10 years or less... oh the good old days of freedom.

The really interesting part about it all is that the internet was actually invented in the late 60s hahaha
