Ah man, we’ve come a long way baby. With MTV celebrating their 30th birthday on Monday, VH1 dug into their archives and dusted off a 17-year-old clip of Yo! MTV Raps host Fab 5 Freddy explaining email.
It’s easy to laugh now, but back then, this was some futuristic shit. Who would’ve thought technology would’ve come so far that you can send an email, or access the internet for that matter, via a mobile device. If you were lucky enough to even afford a computer, it took forever to log onto the ‘net. For Christ sakes, take look at that laptop Freddy’s using. That shit looks like he’s playing Battleship. After the jump, Kurt Loder gives an overall analysis of the ‘net.
There was a YouTube clip of Bryant Gumbel explaining email from the mid 90’s. It is crazy how far we’ve come. (as I type this on my iPhone)..still no flying cars tho ;(
