AOL CHAT ROOMS... Muta this was 1995 and I was 15... those chats were insane and it's was infinite rooms. I remember I hit a bunch if random keys in the chat search bar and got a chat that ended up being a hacker chat room. I got some cool hack tools back then and made friends with some. One chick I remeber called me on the phone she and was friend with this other hacker we knew and she was trying to give me phone cards to call her all the time. I was like wtf do I need those I can use my phone lol. Yeah I was a idiot poser script kiddy.. my bro friend was hacking phone booths with a crystal electric device he made.

If this surprises you then imagine what the secret agencies, like the CIA, uses nowadays to use the internet or even more advanced than today.

My friend Robert and I graduated high school around 1986, and he went on to teach adults about computers at the local community college. We were in the "computer club" together in HS. One day, I stopped over to his apartment around 1989. He had a WANG (real name) tower, with a dial up modem, and he was telling me about this new system that the teachers around the country could chat on. It was FERN? or something like that.. God it has been forever. All greenscreen BBS systems... Was super cool. He would always tell me to put whatever money I had, into this company called "Microsoft"... I was like, sure, ok man....LOL... RIP Robert

50kbps in 1969 was blazing fast, when you concider that in the late 90's. we we getting 57kbps offered from AOL as BLAZING FAST at the time. Of course, me and my nerd computer scientist roommate at the time had a dedicated dual ISDN line installed into our apartment for a whopping 128K speed in order to play Quake, which you had to manually input the server IP to join in the console. What did it cost us for this luxury in 1997? 350 bucks a month, that we happily split so that we could have 20 second ping on Quake multiplayer servers, ladies and gentelmen. I miss the good old days of rocket jumps and rabbit hops of good old fashioned Quake.

I used to visit my cousin at christmas time each year. He was a couple years older than me and really into computers. He taught me how to use my commodore 64 properly. I remember one year in the early 90s he showed me this chat room thing he was a member of. It was more of a forum I suppose. Blew my mind that he was able to see what people were writing and could contribute and other people could respond. Then around '95 we started to get modems a little more wide spread and people actually started getting online. Such a crazy time to be alive. Definitely the biggest change in human history since electricity was discovered.

I still have a commodore 64 breadbin that I restored (circa 1982). With a modem attachment, it can connect to rudimentary bulletin boards.

Hey big boy

10:50 you skipped over one of the best parts of the first test. The first data sent over was just supposed to be the word "login". 'l' and 'o' went over fine but the 'g' caused a crash, after they got it set back up they were able to send "login" over the network. So technically the first 3 letters ever successfully sent over the internet were "lol" (with a crash between the o and second l). look up leonard kleinrock first internet words and you'll find video of him recounting the story, he was the one typing.

Our modern idea of memes didn't really take shape until the mid-00s around when 4chan splintered off from Something Awful and image macros became more common. Before that there was the idea of "catchphrases" on SA which were basically text-based memes.

I miss the old internet. 28.8k modem dialup to the university unix server, getting root using accounts with dumb passwords and installing TIA and SLURP so I could create a ppp/slip connection to download 1.44mb zip files straight to my 486 computer.

By the first website you can tell the Internet was a product of engineers and scientists and not of corporations.

These are the kinds of videos I want to see more of. Great stuff, love computer/internet history.

You know it’s a nice to see muta make a video during the daylight. I know how much he struggles with sleeping properly so it’s just a nice little feeling seeing him bright eyed during the day

I remember scrolling through something about how the internet began on the CERN website during highschool. It's cool to get a more in depth explanation of it from you, I remember wanting to try to read about everything butt I had to stop because I would always get too distracted and probably didn't understand it anyway. I'd end up procrastinating my assignments and going through rabbit holes everywhere while I was making powerpoints for my engineering class, I remember I was making it about the new HL-LHC upgrade. The next year the same thing happened when I was explaining the history of accelerators, cyclotrons, and decelerators and how they could be useful. My teacher probably hated grading them and trying to fact check them lol.

There was a Day we didn’t realise we watched the last haunted gaming:(

Thank you for giving a tour of what it was like to when I first experienced the internet, which was the old "trumpet winsock" days of Win 3.1

Man, this takes me back to the early days of using Netscape and learning how to use the website via reading this massive book on how to use the internet and Netscape itself. Complete with colour drawings of talking floppy disks giving you basic instructions and tips.

One of your best videos. Thank you.

This is pretty cool, please do more like this thanks

insane stuff bro

I feel old, like you, and doesn’t get any better, as the days come by. But, oh well. C’est la vie.

Muta having those late night thoughts after a successful bake and spitting out curious videos.

That office chair is a beast, nice throne cyber king

This was a breathe of fresh air indeed thanks Muta

Hey Mutahar, very cool edutainment video I'd like to see more of this (historical tech). A different idea I kinda was thinking about is to have a few (or at least one) video about, what would be the oldest machine that one could use in a pinch as a daily driver without compromising security (any further than with win10-11) and with as much usability as possible? Example, is there somewhere a "magic" linux distro that can handle webbrowsing, maybe a single google doc page or at least a text editor and a gui browser (youtube 480p capability optional, if you have a way to download and play vids that way) while running on a meager 1 core sub-1Ghz cpu with 256 mb ram and an age appropriate gpu? I personally kinda like this challenge, to find how low can one go today to still exist online (be able to shitpost, do taxes, fill out forms, and watch videos).

No way…I was wondering this literally last night

This makes me understand, why my parents don't know how to work the internet.

Thanks or making me feel old MUTA. I remember those mono chromatic monitors. Vaguely.

THESE ARE THE GOOOOD VIDEOS!

I love old internet stuff. Like, the fact that you used to be able to get onto new groups through Outlook is cool, the old aesthetic of it, how blogs such as Angel Fire came about. It’s just so good

I think you should do a video on the old Bulletin Boards (BBS). Some of them were crazy places to hang out, from the records I've read. You can still dial into some of them today.

Man, this is so cool. It’s crazy how far we’ve come as a society

Nice video! Me encantan este tipo de cosas xD i didn't know that was the first "browser" but I think I like more the machines that the early internet was running on

I have the same chair. Very comfy.

You would have a great time talking to my computer history teacher. This entire video is relevant to what we are learning about right now. I love learning about how it all started, very interesting. I would love more videos like this

Fascinating journey back to how the internet used to be. Really puts into perspective just how far we've come. Miss the simplicity, but wouldn't trade modern tech conveniences.

4:56 your voice sounds like the intro to Inner Urge by joe henderson

My favorite take from you to date. I seen't what you did here, growing your "older" audience.

My favorite early internet story was back in the days of dialup: a friend called me to ask if downloading a file from a German website constituted a long distance phone call.

I'm 36 and started with MS- DOS so this video brought me back and it was pretty interesting stuff. Windows 3.1 was where I jammed for years haha

great video thx

Honestly, This video should’ve been titled “Har browses the old archived fishing-net for 17 straight minutes without taking his medication”.

Freakin' nostalgia! 😢

❤muta

My school in Aurora had a 100 Mega bit backbone built into it as it was a cutting edge new school. It started having access to the internet in January 1994. We would use a dialer program and an attached phone line with a receiver to call to U of T to be able to access their library mainframe. You had to talk to a person and they would manually connect your computer to it then you could hang up the receiver. It wasn't until the fall of that year that we even could start to browse the web with Netscape. Weird to think I have been using the internet for 30 years now....

@SomeOrdinaryGamers Please Please, make a video on Bulletin Board Systems! Those were AWEsome!

I have been to this site, crazy to think how far internet and computers in general have come.

hey first time i see you is mutahar laugh and i was like wtf is mutahar means and here we are thnx for being on YT

it's incredible how many people thought the internet was just a flash in the pan back then. On the other hand though, some people saw basically everything we have today coming right away, smart phones and smart-everything being the main one, all the advertising, people were calling it right away.

Muta should show off some old-school MUDs, some of which are still running since the late 80's/early 90's.

I remember connecting to BBS' via a 110 baud manual dial mode,

Oh man, that terminal access to the website. Used to daisy chain BBSs to get outside of my calling area without paying for long distance, and one of the nodes was to a nearby collage which had real Internet access. I used that to access MTV's website and download the video for Peaches by Presidents of the United States of America.

This was a fun video

that’s crazy that the first website has Muta in the corner

Muta: Let there be web Internet: *manifests into existence*

you're making me feel old with this history

I remember having dailup in the early 00s and to bid on something on eBay we couldn't snipe with a few seconds like these days you had to bid at least a few minutes in advance and pray

The early days of the internet were so good. Back when times were simple...

LMFAO!! I died at around 10 mins when I heard what the first operating system was called.

This video sure took me back in time. My first office job was 1976 in a DP (Data Processing) department as a key-to-disk operator (which is where data was put on a 5" floppy disk and then put into the computer). I later became a computer operator and then a programmer. We had an IBM mainframe which was programmed in RPG and, for your younger audience, no, that does not mean Role Playing Game. :-) There was no internet and no personal computers or cell phones and life was good. 🙂

Muta should teach compsci/computer history. Back in the day i wanted AOL just for that cool button UI theme that they had when you would dial in. The early days of 28K modems and being mad because someone was using the phone when you were trying to download or play a game.

Any plan on covering Twomad?

I didnt even know about the internet until 1999 and even then I felt behind in the times.

Magnetic tapes and disks sent through USPS brings me nightmares. I remember the physical gymnastics I had to go through with a 5 inch floppy and get into the library without erasing all the info. I can see USPS not erasing a ton of info back in the day.

My grandfather build a computer back in the day. In the 80s.
