Here's a fun little video that has gone viral lately. It's touted as a 1995 PSA about the Internet. I now know who to blame for our obsession about CATS on the Internet...
Besides the interesting connection to cat-obsession, if this is truly a real video from 1995, it's pretty freaky. A graphical interface on the web wasn't available until shortly before that. (The birth of HTML and the browser around '92.) So, in three short years, we went from deployment of an idea to awareness among even our youth. That's pretty amazing.
What's more, the people that were spoon-feeding the kids their lines were spot-on in their predictions. It left me wondering, is this a hoax? If not, who were these people? I really want to know the rest of the story.
