The Internet as Imagined in 1969

May 11, 2009 by Geeks are Sexy | 2 comments

This video dates back to 1969 and presents what could be described as an early idea of the Internet. I just love the reaction of the guy at 0:46 right after the narrator says: “What the wife selects on her console will be paid for by her husband at his counterpart console.” Society has certainly changed a lot since then hasn’t it?
