It would blow those kids mind, to think that in 27 years time they’d be watching a video of themselves, in that programme, on a mobile phone.
-
The only thing that hasn’t dated is how COOL Massive Attack’s Unfinished Sympathy is👏👏 Remember seeing this episode as a 12yr old. Don’t think I actually got to really use a computer that was on the internet for another 4yrs…I was in Somerset though 🤣
-
Rumours have it that this will be coming to the Isle of Wight next year. Can't wait.
-
I always used to go onto the Internet to get away from people, around 1998 onwards.... Now, I stay off the Internet to get away from people. How times change.

This was such an exciting time to be a kid.the Internet was this brand new thing to explore, games were going 3d, we had crazy movies like Toy Story using cgi. It felt like we were living in the future. Crazy how quickly we came to take it all for granted!
-
Those PC speakers are the most 90’s thing that I’ve seen in a while.
-
My experience of dial-up Internet at home was often frustrating because of its slowness and random disconnections but along with all computer stuff in the 2000s, it evokes fond memories for me.
-
1995 was a good year, so glad I was born and experienced life before social media.
-
Diane-Louise Jordan's awkward with the kids is brilliantly out of its time here; 4:53 Little girl; 'We've been to Hiawaii. Not literally.' DLJ; 'Yeah I know.'

Love this video for the use of Massive Attack alone. What a banger
-
This clip is older than I am, but it's so nice to be able to have a glimpse into the early days of the world wide web. This video feels like it's from 15 years ago at most, yet it's from nearly 30 years ago. Technology is pure madness, but I love the simplicity of computers from back in the 90's and early 00's. Take me back!

I absolutely LOVED her in blue Peter!! She was soooo good
-
I used to work for Easynet, Cyberia’s sister company and Internet provider. The main ‘machine room’ was a cupboard in the corner of Cyberia. On a given day there was a reasonable chance you’d see me crashing through the grey double doors and running into the cupboard because some crappy bit of hardware decided to do one. Oh or the air con failed, or the interruptible power supply decided to have a sit down… ah happy days..
-
I miss this era as many graphics as possible and just the enormous enthusiasm at anything also playing pretty random music
-
I wish we still said “surf the net”
-
I’m honestly really excited to see where this internets thing goes, seems very promising..
-
WWW is a short for World Wide Web? I am a 2000’s child, now it makes so much sense. 22 years never realized that.
-
I was turning 20 in 1995. I remember going to internet cafes when on vacation to send emails
-
I was 16 in 1995. Was one of the best years of my life
-
The entire idea of a so-called "cybercafe" feels so antiquated nowadays, since the internet is an omnipresent thing that powers almost everything nowadays, and our smartphones are essentially tiny computers that we take anywhere anytime, in addition to just using a laptop in an actual coffee shop like I do for work all the time.
