The Internet is still a child, but it seems that it has always been with us. We’ve had generations since the houses were taken”personal computers”, our good old personal computers, or just PCs.

Today there are even fields of study dedicated to the archeology of technology and the Internet, and they give us a better understanding of our evolution in the era of globalization, as well as give us nostalgic moments. And it’s about this video below, late launch video Windows 95one of the watersheds of PC use and democratization in the nineties.

I managed to find some excerpts from the presentation of the times when Windows 95 was released, but this video in full, in excellent resolution, is the responsibility of the channel staff Blue OS Museum.

In the video, in addition to information about the launch of the operating system, we can see the pure juice of the nineties, both in clothes, hairstyles, Powerpoint presentations, and (dubious) jokes of the presenter Jay Leno, who led the presentation along with Bill Gates. Not to mention the addition of “Start Me Up” from Rolling Stones.

This is a time capsule, and such materials allow us to see the evolution of society in many aspects, and not just in terms of technology. The goals and ambitions that are discussed there; dreams that are developed from the expectation, born of the possibility that a new way of using computers is easier and more accessible. It is also interesting to think about the current situation of the people who appear there and how they have influenced the course of our lives. Consider that this piece of news you’re reading, and even this website, wouldn’t be possible without the people who built Windows 95 years ago.

Okay, maybe I’m being a little dramatic, but studying history helps us figure out what next steps to take and not make the same mistakes. Other than that, the video contains some great awkward and funny moments.
