And then there was copper

This vid has been floating around the net getting great reviews for a month or so, but I recently stumbled it again and it was just as cool as the first time I watched it. So I thought I’d share. For the non-nerds, it’s a brief and enjoyable (no kidding, it’s actually pretty cool) history of the internet. Anyone that has a little curiosity about the world around them will probably like it, it’s not a pile of jargon. For the nerds it’s just fun to watch… Lore is a big part of geekdom. The fit and finish on it is top notch. The embedded vid is pretty good, but it’ll probably look better on the host site. Enjoy, let me know what you think.

    I love the part when the announce says “…and it frayed the programmers’ nerves” and little lightning bolts pop up over the guy’s head! Because that’s exactly what happens when I am annoyed.
    Very cool video, btw.

      I guess the point of the project was using icons to communicate. I like the concept and how it was played out. Love the ambient background music too.

      Around here, we actually have to ground our chairs. It’s not uncommon for lightning bolts to shoot out of our heads when we’re frustrated.
