1995 Video Explaining the Internet: Internet Power!

Andy Baio at Waxy.org is creating digitized version of old VHS tapes. Internet Power! brings back memories of technology weirdness long forgotten, back when less than 40 million people were online. It’s fun to see Windows 3.1, AIR Mosaic, and 14.4 modems shown as cutting edge technology, with Microsoft’s Bret Arsenault (now a GM at Microsoft) explaining the hot new superhighway of information.
