By
I direct editorial here at TC. Email me: brandon@thoughtcatalog.com. In 1994, mainstream America was, at best, online via a 56k dial-up modem and AOL or Prodigy. Today Show hosts Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric were no exception. Watch them fumble over how to say out loud the “@” sign (Couric thought the symbol either meant “about” or “around”) and genuinely wonder, “What is the internet anyway??”
