Was there even the internets back then??
Speaking of early innernets...
Around 1993 or 1994, my friend wanted to show me something on his control station at the computer lab. He was one of the geeks (amongst nerds, mind you) who helped run the lab for clueless idiots like me for whom the greatest thing a computer could do was play risk. In black and white.
Now, remember, NO one in the dorms had any network access. My computer could speak with the mouse and my printer and keyboard. That's it. For the few on BBS boards and the like had to go to the lab. Generally, though, the lab had better computers than our black and white Macs including things like color and better printers and all.
Ok, to the story:
My friend is like, dude, I gotta show you something. So I go. What does he show me? Playboy.com Now also remember, "pron" was not what it is today. Electric Blue on Cable was pretty racy stuff, we had not yet been numbed to all but the most extreme of concepts. So seeing boobs (and more!) on a computer was actually pretty amazing.
I was unimpressed. Told him this was the most stupid idea I'd ever heard of. Who the heck is going to watch porn on their computers... thinking of course that the only place to get internet access was at the computer lab and am I supposed to rub one with a bunch of nerds doing their thesis papers around me?
Boy, did I miss that one.
