Teens react to seeing/using Windows 95

[Skel]

I searched but didn't see this here already, sorry if I missed it and this is a repost..


Prepare to feel very very old (provided you're not a teen and used Win95 when it was released)

...Oh god, what version of IE is that?


Oh my, one of them, while commenting on having to use a phone for dial-up, made a hand-motion like holding a cellphone.


"Too much work to use."
But, I'm sure some people would have liked to angrily shake a slide rule at me.

Damn kids!

Good times to be born in: No era of "no Internet."

Uh I started with just DOS and Windows 3.1 that was new stuff for me back then...

The React channel covers a broad range of people "reacting" to tech. My favorites are the "elders" react. Some are quite amusing ...

Hey look, it's a video by those guys who tried to trademark "react" and got shat on by the internet.

Kid's ignorance is cute.

Reminds me when my HS math teacher told us they had to use slide rulers in grad school to do math.

My favorite react video was when they tried to explain why they trademarked "react" videos and got shit on. then had to react with a video apologizing.

Paper tape for assembly language and then we got machines that used 5.25 floppies. DS/DD, ftw. The intel 8085&86 were the bomb.

Let's not forget the card readers for fortran. Or the Y2K scare that gave some old guys jobs....



Spoiled assed kids should have to install a modem. PITA. Doesn't work, doesn't work, doesn't work.....miracle happens...modem works.

Those "react" videos are funny. I just got done watching the JNCO jeans one. I hate to say I had a pair in junior high.

 

[Possessed Freak]

The kids pushing monitor power, what, the only computers they ever used were laptops or imacs? Staged crap.

The 'react' franchise needs to die, and I hope I did not give those pompous asshats ANY money.

What's so amusing about watching a specific age group react on camera to technology before their time? I mean we do any age group like that. How about we take all you middle age people and have you react to stuff from the 50's...on camera of course? weeeeeeeeeee

Computers from that era I would have no clue. Most other things have not changed so drastically.

The 50's....slide rule for the masses to text with.

 

[NoTine42]

We probably do not need a ton of 'react' videos. But I do think a few of them can be valuable for reflection on how "simple" changes greatly improve the overall experience.

I think that's boomerang.

Woah I remember those Dell monitors. They were brand new at the time when my school got new computers. I think those suckers could do like 1024x768 at like 85Hz or something crazy like that. Man I feel old now. I find it odd that some of them did not know how to turn it on though, is the desktop PC really that dead, the the point where most people don't even have one anymore? That's kinda scary.

The guys that run that channel are assholes though. Basically your typical IP troll. They've trademarked some of the most absurd things, they even tried to trademark "react" and they were in the process of finishing that and it would have gone through, but they got shat on so much that they redacted for PR reasons. They also sent lot of take down notices to people making similar videos. Basically they want to own the idea of reaction videos and not allow anyone else to do them, and Youtube's terrible copyright system facilitates them.

4) ren autoexec.bat autoexec.ba1
5) ren config.sy2 config.sys
6) ren autoexec.ba2 autoexec.bat
7) ctr-alt-del
8) acad
9) do stuff in AutoCad
10) exit AutoCad
11) c:
12) ren config.sys config.sy2
13) ren autoexec.bat autoexec.ba2
14) ren config.sy1 config.sys
15) ren autoexec.ba1 autoexec.bat
16) ctr-alt-del
17) wp

Life was so much simpler then.

And yet they were always set to run at 60Hz. D:

Yeah, that aspect seemed really fake/staged. I mean seriously, come on now. People still have freaking computers. People that do anything more than basic use and/or play games need real computers. They have a separate power button. I still enjoyed the video though.

I remember seeing the difference between 60Hz and 85Hz. And my bewilderment that some people weren't bothered by/could not notice the flicker at 60Hz. Ahh the nostalgia. We are indeed spoiled today.

I was always the "hero" in IT when I'd set someone's monitor to like 85hz or whatever was considered the safe bet. "Since you did that I don't have headaches anymore!" No kidding! It used to drive me insane when I'd try to use a monitor that was set to 60hz. "The monitor is like a strobe light and flashing at 60hz, how do you work like this? Let me fix that. " "You can see that?"

Meh. Set up a pdp-11 and have them mount a diskpack. ��
