  • You may not have known this, but in the 90s the internet was a very different place. Gifs weren’t built into keyboards, emojis were made of punctuation, and it’s users were known as… internauts.

    Internaut is probably the best word and i hope I can start using it in my normal vocabulary.

    the weird thing is that even though it seems like such a loooooong time ago, most of those people are still alive. If that lady in red was 30yrs old and that was filmed in 1990, she'd be 60 right now. I would love to see a video where they react to their old videos...

    As an internaut myself... Your videos are the most informative and interesting on CZcams. I only just discovered the term flaming three years ago, some of my friends still don't know the term. Turns out it's been around since God was a boy.

    I've been online for almost 25 years now and honestly I miss the early internet (1993-2008). Web 2.0 social media and smartphones have dome more to kill what I loved about the internet.

      There did seem to be more... I guess experimentation. Oddball stuff for sake of making oddball stuff.
      Now it seems mostly codified. The sense of what could be is down the shitter.

      A lot of those terms were more technical and niche, but were (surprisingly) well used by internauts for whom those words described some aspect of their online experience. SLIP is Serial Line Internet Protocol, like PPP or Point to Point Protocol, it was a necessary and useful term for those who used it.

    I mean, I was only born in 1995, but had Broadband internet since 2000 or so, being an early adopter of Broadband. Now, I may not have been around the internet much in the very early days, but I don't feel like Internaut was a word that was used outside of evening news reports on the internet.

    I found a Dutch brochure for using the internet from the 1900's while cleaning my attic, it contained detailed guides for how to search, chat, e-mail, find pornography, engage in online dating, order groceries, and get "freebies" (gratis stuff) on the internet. It was issued by a Dutch internet provider in a time when the Internet was just mainstream but most people didn't know what one could do on it. Because of how detailed the pornography chapter was I suspect that the cybersex clip might be genuine.
