Transferred from a VHS video tape, this 1996 video shows how to use a PC and how to use the PC to access the new “world wide web.” I had my first website that year. It was a one pager which got an average of one visit per day, which wasn’t too bad back then. I’m guessing the average 1st grader knows more about using a PC and the internet than this professional instructional video is teaching. You won’t believe how backwards the state of PC and internet use 15 years will seem to you as you watch.
I watched this in its entirety. Nice hop down memory lane but half-way in, I consider this tape required viewing for 90%+ of the Internet users in 2017. They don’t know the difference between HTTP and HTTPS. They don’t know what FTP is or why a URL is formatted the way it is.
Heck, I was in a meeting last week and someone was sharing their screen. They Google-searched for Gmail.com. This is 2017. This person works in tech. This 21 year old tape on how to use the Internet is still valid today.
