In 1995 episode of Computer Chronicles , Stewart Cheifet greets us from inside one of those fancy new cyber cafés you ’ve doubtlessly been hearing so much about , require “ Who enunciate on-line user are a bunch of asocial geeks ? ” And a whole eighteen year later we can still pretty much react with “ Everyone , Stewart . Everyone does . ”
But that ’s no longer a regretful thing ! Although the word “ geek ” remains , the connotation has changed . Along with pretty much everything else . The television varies between being screaming , cringe - worthy , and nostalgia - bring on — if you ’re the character of person who long for the flower of AirMosaic and the Pizza Hut homepage infamy . The picture be given to drag , so some choice quotes lie in below . And we wish you safe travels as your journey ever deeply into The Net :
“ Successful dwelling house pages could be seen by twenty or thirty thousand hoi polloi a week . ”
“ The complexity of programming ‘ connexion ’ can be overwhelming . ”
“ I would n’t put my credit card up until there ’s security software that will protect the mention card . ”
