Mosaic web browser yahooComputer Chronicles was one of the first computer shows.  On this episode, circa 1995, the host Stewart Cheifet introduced normal people to the Internet by talking about email and streaming video.  He shows you how to access the Internet via the largest provider at the time…CompuServe.

CompuServe was the first provider I ever used to access the Internet.  My dad had a subscription on his 8088 laptop computer with monochrome liquid crystal display.  Can you believe how open the Internet was?

For all you folks that were not alive in 1995 watch this video and find out why search engines like Google took over.  Just trying to find the information you need was a pain.  You’ll notice people talking about locating directories of links and saving bookmarks.  It was like a excruciatingly slow scavenger hunt.

As if there isn’t enough weird photos with captions on the Internet I cam across a pretty damn funny video.  Below is a funny music video from the Nerdist using an interesting language variation called lisped.  It’s basically pronouncing every word in English as if you had an old-school retainer in your mouth.  Let me give you a little background on the history before you watch the video.

You can learn, or should I say lurn, more about it here: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ermahgerd

I personally think the best part is when the Swedish Chef shows up.  If you’ve ever watched the Muppet’s growing up you’ll see the resemblance between the Swedish Chef and this strange language.  Watch the video all the way through, there is good stuff at the end too.
