I just came across this series about the internet from 1996. Intended as an introduction to the internet to a general audience, the series consisted of 13 half-hour episodes that were hosted by Scott Simon (now current host of Weekend Edition Saturday on NPR). At the time, most people didn’t own a personal computer nor did they use the internet (if they even knew it existed). The “World Wide Web” was just gaining momentum. Netscape went public in 1995. This was also the beginning of the Dot-Com Bubble. The primary way people accessed the internet was through AOL and you basically paid for that access by the hour (until AOL introduced “unlimited access” for $19.95 in 1996). Hotmail was introduced in July of 1996. As the episode I’ve linked to demonstrates, Javascript was newly invented and people were still trying to figure out what the internet was: its uses, its value.  (There’s a bit of film from 1972 featuring Dr. Robert Kahn explaining how the internet would work & later with Dr. Vinton Cerf about inventing the protocols that would allow computers to communicate with one another. Kahn was one of the creators of Arpanet, the first packet-switched network.)  The series is a fun dive into the nascent blooming of the internet into the ubiquitous digital presence it is today.  There’s also this VHS transfer about the internet from 1996 about how to “use a PC and how to access the internet.” I found it amusing.  Addendum: Another quick overview of what the internet looked like in 1996-1997 for your consideration. Note the following: “Most people used dial-up Internet connections with mighty speeds ranging from 28.8Kbps to 33.6Kbps. Highly modern 56Kbps modems would arrive in 1997.” You kids today don’t know the struggle and I’m happy for you ‘cause it was irritating as hell.  Addendum the second: I almost forgot hilarious shit like this existed. ‘Don't Copy That Floppy!‘ from 1992 and ‘The Kids' Guide to the Internet‘ from 1997.

ARPANET was sort of like a precursor to the Internet! It was notably the first to implement/use certain protocols (TCP/IP) that make the net work even to this day- and so while it wasn't worldwide or exactly like how the net today is, it was basically the first network like that iirc :)
AMAZING! I don’t think I’d ever heard of that. I remember the first social media site we ever used was Prodigy. That’s how far back I go. But I imagine pretty soon after ARPANET.

Did you know? The first successful host-to-host connection on the ARPANET was made between Stanford Research Institute (SRI) and UCLA, by SRI programmer Bill Duvall and UCLA student programmer Charley Kline, at 10:30 pm PST on October 29, 1969. The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was the first wide-area packet-switched network with distributed control and one of the first networks to implement the TCP/IP protocol suite. Both technologies became the technical foundation of the Internet.

10 FACTS THAT YOU MAY LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT RECORD MAKERS
1/ Our first release was Air's score for Sofia Coppola's 'The Virgin Suicides', a project we A&Red entirely. Air left the label for good 6 years ago.
2/ The original version of Sebastien Tellier's 'La Ritournelle' features Tony Allen on drums, long before he was hired by Damon Albarn or Air or whoever. We asked him because he's the best drummer alive and lives in Paris!
3/ Kavinsky's Testarossa video was Jonas & Francois' first ever video. Since then they have worked for Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West and Justice. The very day we put the Kavinsky video online, MTV were urging us to give them a copy!
4/ Mr Oizo a.k.a Quentin Dupieux mixed Sebastien Tellier's first album L'Incroyable Verite back in 2001, an album with absolutely no beat!
5/ Hypnolove's first album features Bitch Lap Lap on vocals, who has become rather popular all around the world under another name: 5 letters, starts with an 'F'.
6/ The 1976 score for John Carpenter's 'Assault on Precinct 13' remained unreleased before we put it out in 2003. The numerous messages of love that we received from around the world would indicate we filled a gap.
7/ Arpanet released a prophetic album about smart phones and wireless internet back in 2000. It is called 'Wireless Internet'.
8/ Sebastien Tellier's 'Sexuality' and Kavinsky's 'Nightcall' are the only releases produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo outside of Daft Punk / Crydamoure.
9/ Sébastien Tellier inhaled helium on stage during his Eurovision performance. He sang like a duck for 20 seconds in front of over 100 million viewers!
10/ Turzi approached Record Makers for an internship in 2004. We preferred to sign him as an artist. Since then, he has released the new krautrock manifesto 'Made Under Authority', recorded songs with Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie and Brigitte Fontaine for his latest album ‘B’ and performed a private gig in for Tangerine Dream's Edgar Froese..

The first known online transaction took place in 1971 when students at Stanford University used the ARPANET (a precursor to the internet) to arrange the sale of a small amount of marijuana. The transaction was between students in the artificial intelligence lab at Stanford and students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). However, it doesn't technically qualify as a transaction because no money was exchanged online; the network was solely used to coordinate a meeting place. So, what was the first thing ever sold online?
