Interesting reaction and comments

[Soulbound]

Not surprised one bit
However I cannot stop laughing for a specific comment:
How do you get on the internet if you do not have WIFI...

@illumination @exterminator20 we that old??

 

[kev216]

When seeing this I'm actually ashamed being 19 years old like probably some of them lol

 

[Noxx]

I'm 23, and I started using computers when I was 5, so I somewhat recall Windows 95. I vividly recall XP, and I miss it.

 

[Rishi]

Point of view.

 

[McLovin]

Ahhh I'm not that old myself, still quite young but I do remember my very first every computer running Windows 95. Got it for my birthday actually, 8 birthday if I remember, and that's when computers grew for me. From having 64MB of ram, 512MB hard drive, shows that technology has come so far thanks to the grandfather Bill Gates.
Awesome video!

Well if it weren't for driver installation nightmares, GUI and software issues, I'd use Windows 3.1 (8 x 1.44 Floppy disks). Will beat any boot times you currently have

I think this was my first one, the BBC micro that you could plug to your TV as well:

So funny
I remember those times, but todays computers are much more comfortable

56k modem anybody? Download a single .mp3 file - finished after ~30 minutes *strike*

Thanks for sharing @Inkurax

@Sana: Remember 3.11 (or 3.1?) as well, very first laptop (!) I got (an old, used one, the previous owner gave away for free), not for doing anything more than getting amused 'bout some system sounds, too young
Could have hammered nails in the wall with that one

I started with speeds under 56k
Got my 1st internet bill that was so huge, that I had to live off insta-noodles for a whole month!

Back then you still had false marketing e.g. many printer companies claiming photo realistic pics etc, and they hadn't even reached 300dpi back then

@Der.Reisende There was 3.1 and 3.11. OMG that laptop would have been the size of laser printer
BTW, I might still have a brand new US Robotics 56k modem, and some museum stuff like 486 or Pentium 1 lying around too

Wow, 56k was even slow But yes, heard of it (pooh, now I should join those kiddies )

Oh wow Good we have DSL + flatrate today

Yes, remember those old printers, even those with the needles and those making lots of noise (or are those the same?)

P.S. Best comment in the vid: No WiFi? Worst case! ---> poor youth

 

[harlan4096]

Haha my 1st computer was a Commodore VIC=20 3,5 KiloBytes of RAM, no operating system, just turn on and start to program in BASIC... later I also got Commodore C=64 and Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and knew a Sinclair ZX-81 of a friend so W95 was great!

No, the inkjets. Those needle ones are still used for double or triple copy printing and mostly suited for text or Asciiart

So we've come a long way from having a calculator the size of a house to having Google glass.
Can't wait till they come out with Star Trek teleportation. One thing I do find crazy would be, your body is teleported, but your soul is lost.... that'd be scary

@harlan4096 Oh boy, that must be around the time or before them BBC computers. Basic or LOGO, were the things taught in school back then.

 

[harlan4096]

@Sana : at this time there were no computers at school here in Spain

 

[hjlbx]

Commodore-64. Very few of you will even know about it.

Is that the one that used to run programs off an audio cassette?

I'm not that stupid
How do you use the internet without WiFi... Ethernet!!!!

 

[harlan4096]

Yes, those micro computers, all of them used magnetic audio cassettes to save programs although they had also floppy disks device

 

[jamescv7]

Honestly we are lucky when we born on that age, because those tools already a big deal to help our needs to be ease.

So those reactions are definitely normal and casual which why people should go back to the history to appreciate it.

I had an Atari before the C64, modded it later on to be like the future C128
Never went with the Amiga though, I bought a used Commodore 286, 12MHz, 1024KB memory and 10MB HDD, started with DOS on it and ended up with Windows 3.11
Got a Windows 95 trial disk from MS at a computer show just before release date, man I was excited when I came home to install the new OS.
