We’ve come a long way
This is what the Internet was like when I got started (pre-web.)
It’s amazing how much has changed – and how much hasn’t.

Thanks for sharing that clip Ken.
The original broadcast was on October 8, 1993 on CBC Television. It is posted at the following url along with a few other historical tech clips from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

BTW: I’m looking for a video clip or headline news clipping that refers to that period when corporate web sites went from being a luxury to an absolute necessity of doing business (mid 90’s). I need it for a power point presentation. If any one can point to an appropriate url that would be greatly appreciated.
I don’t know if there was a single watershed event that can be pointed to.
If there were a key event, in my mind it was the Netscape IPO in the summer of 1995.
That not only got the dotcom craze going, but because it was a such a spectacular Wall Street event, it also woke up everyone in big business that something was happening with ‘that web thing’ that might be more than just a techie fad.
