Bill Gates was really close with Epstein. Watch him squirm and deflect with self-praise for his philanthropy when asked about it in interviews. Bill Gates is actually worse than Elon and the bar is Amber Heard low with Elon.

A few things I got from this video--everyone had bad hair in the nineties (myself included), "Micro Soft" sounds weird and Quake had a low frame rate back then but seemed like it didn't...
Woe 1998 I was completing my junior year in high school. I remember 300mhz processor was the consumer desktop computer available at that time. Now my small cellphone has 3.36 ghz processor speed with 12gb of ram 512gb rom. Technology is awesome, only when getting advanced and not stagnant. Awesome YT channel CBS
The megaherz increased only tenfold. The memory increased a thousand fold. Screen resolution also did not increse that much, my first computer, in 1998, had 1024x768, nowadays most computers have 1920x1080. Only twice as in 1998, 25 years ago.
I was back in the uni, mesmerized by the tech advancements, i was in awe of the ideas we learned through this type of tv shows. At that time, you could go to a bookstore and buy a tech book and that was meaningful. Nowdays the pace is brutal, one year is one programming language, the next year the framework disappears and something new comes up...I miss the 90s.
Wow! I love watching these vintage videos from the early 90s about the beginning of the internet and technology! It's so nostalgic to see what these small businesses were like, yet to expand! I love the 90s!
The difference between 90s News Reporting and modern News Reporting. There was no ideology pushing, no talks of racism, or hate. Just purely reporting.
If there were no talks of racism does that only demonstrate the lack of poor reporting in the 90s? A time in which racism was largely ignored and dismissed just like your doing now. Purely biased reporting more like; you don't was truthful reporting, only reporting that serves your own bigoted narratives.
I would assume the game itself is running at 640X480, and probably the video source is 480i, but presumably deinterlaced for TH-cam. 360p wasn't really a thing back then. (And hell, we didn't refer to display resolutions with the number+i or p designations back then either. I don't remember seeing 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p before like 2008 honestly. DVDs were 720X480, and the most common monitor resolutions were 640X480, 800X600, 1024X768, and 1280X1024, with CRT monitors not having a native resolution like today's displays do.)
Worked for TJ Rogers for almost 13 years and he is the most articulate man I've ever met. He could take the most complex topic and simplify it so a child could understand it.
It’s wise of you to use the word prophetic, the whole thing feels like God helped with the editing for people to see now what was easier to see about the future back then. To call Gates a less then benevolent dictator who paints himself as benevolent is exactly what’s going on. He isn’t elected yet government lets him be involved in our water sources, our food sources, he is involved in our science, he is involved in our children’s education, he is involved in our medicine, he is involved in our technology, he is involved in our access to information, he genuinely manipulates our entire culture And there’s nothing benevolent about his crazy ideas and out of touch with reality nature. If there ever was someone who needed to touch grass and humbled to God, it’s Bill Gates and the influencers who control him. He would do well to see the Isaiah 53 savior of Matthew and John instead of thinking himself to be the savior. His dad especially was just plain evil. I think there is a part of him that thinks he can do good, but their is no good without God.
I remember someone telling me in 98 that Jeff Bezos selling books on the internet will fail quickly and Microsoft will go bankrupt. Wish I bought stocks in any of those including Apple.

This brings me back to my childhood in the 1990s when all of the content delivery was quieter, better balanced (sound and pace wise), and the people communicated more slowly and more directly to the point. It was much easier to think and concentrate when the world was like this. You can almost _hear_ the silence in the audio, compared to the delivery of both mainstream news and online video content today.
I had by first telecom job in 1987 (MCI) and 4 years later my first internet job (NASA Science Internet). I'm hoping to retire in 3 years on my 35th year in the internet. The Old Man (Vint Cerf) has been around longer, but then he's 15 years older than I am :) Sadly, I was at IETF when IPv6 (back then; IPng) was proposed, and 32 years later we're still stuck on IPv4.
Windows was the desktop king, but the web servers were running on Unix back then and later switched to Linux. So the internet has been running overwhelmingly on non-Windows operating systems since day 1.
You're a little late to the game with your Chrome comment. MS was the Chrome of its day where it offered it for free. It replaced going to the store and buying a browser such as Netscape for $30.
That time in 1998, nobody can ever think that a company (Google)born in 1998 will became the king of internet browser and musk will became the tech mogul.
@@hughjass2745 He seems satisfied with his work, his children, and his friends. I think he would be happier if he was married to the love of his life. He doesn’t have that.
All zoomers who mouth off about Elon being a useless billionaire need to watch this. He was designing and operating advanced technologies when you kids were in diapers.
Gosh I'm so happy to have lived through those formative years in my teens. It was a great time, coming of age… Everyone who was around back then and who was into the internet and computers knows what I mean, we were pioneers. It felt big to us, before it was big, and many people had no clue what we were into. It had a massive impact on my life to this day and it earns me a living today…
TJ Rodgers is a billionaire, although stepped down as a CEO and director in 2016. On the Digital Bitcasting side, no info whatsoever, not even on Dougherty's page.
Can anyone recommend a good internet browser for under $30? I'm going to Best Buy shortly to get one for my new computer. If you think that sounds silly, that's what the government was fighting for when they went after Bill Gates for monopolistic competition since he offered a browser for free when you bought a computer.
It's not that simple. Microsoft's browser was inferior and the company was injecting and effectively dictating it's own standards for web development. Opera is/was another browser. Microsoft was shipping free junk and unraveling a quickly evolving Internet. Developers (like myself) understand how poorly this would end for consumers. This is why Microsoft lost and was fined incredible amounts of money in Europe where lobbyist have less of a hold on regulation. Be thankful that Microsoft did not win.
😁😅 A young Elon! Funny for everyone, themselves and in seeing. A sweetness of shared humanity as to that, weren’t we all, once, a child, a young kid/adult. Time goes so quickly, as such it seems. Good to see, this form of nostalgia 🙂
for those who don’t know, Microsoft did in fact underinvest in the free browser they bundled with Windows. It was buggy and crappy and stifled innovation for a decade. Microsoft really was the evil empire of the computer industry.
Interesting watching this today given Google Chrome is essentially in the same position as Internet Explorer was back then, and Google are facing lawsuits about being a monopoly. Everything old is new again :)
His mind was nascent and fresh, he only had Zip2 as a creative outlet per se at this time. With the sheer amount of companies he's dealt with and driven to get to where we are now, the mind becomes far more multi-faceted. When he speaks now his cognitive state is 10/20x branched.
Love how Elon drove two iconic piston-engined British cars: - McLaren F1 V12 - Jaguar E-Type inline 6 Glad he never positioned Tesla as a "climate hero" company, but that electric drive just makes more sense for most use cases.
Journalism was so much better before 9/11 and it just feels like another world compared to today's media landscape. Today it's just agitation, division, shouting and opinion. At that time back then, however, it was about summarising a complex topic and letting the viewer form their own opinion. I really miss these times!

Ditto
Such a long time ago now. I wonder who is still at the table with Mr. Musk of those pictured in this.
Internet Explorer was RUTHLESS.
That Elon Musk guy looks bright, I hope it works out for him.
He looks very different
I could be wrong, but I think his sale of this company is how he financed Paypal, which he then sold to finance his stake in Telsa.
That time in 1998, nobody can ever think that a company (Google)born in 1998 will became the king of internet browser and musk will became the tech mogul.
❤❤
Elon and his first wife, then girlfriend, Justine, look happy here together.
Money and fame doesn't always bring happiness, he really doesn't seem to like living the billionaire life.
@@hughjass2745 He seems satisfied with his work, his children, and his friends. I think he would be happier if he was married to the love of his life. He doesn’t have that.
All zoomers who mouth off about Elon being a useless billionaire need to watch this. He was designing and operating advanced technologies when you kids were in diapers.
Ах, 1998 год! Столько всего было, столько трудностей, порой невыносимых.🙏🙏
That Quake 2 at the beginning
"HUP!"
Q2DM1 to be exact.
I was looking for the comments about Quake 2, I had to scroll too far down for that !
Gosh I'm so happy to have lived through those formative years in my teens. It was a great time, coming of age… Everyone who was around back then and who was into the internet and computers knows what I mean, we were pioneers. It felt big to us, before it was big, and many people had no clue what we were into. It had a massive impact on my life to this day and it earns me a living today…
How is the young man doing these days?
All these commenters focusing on his hair while I’m noticing his teeth were needing some improvement 😂
If this Elon kid keeps it up he might end up being a billionaire.
bankrupt in 5 years or less
U dont say 🙂
@tomservo if he goes bankrupt we still probably wont catch up. Dont be so sour
Great interview, and who would have know that Elon Musk would become the richest man in the world?
Netscape was the first composer I used to make webpages in the 90s!
In June 2019, Infineon Technologies announced it would acquire Cypress for $9.4 billion.
TJ Rodgers is a billionaire, although stepped down as a CEO and director in 2016. On the Digital Bitcasting side, no info whatsoever, not even on Dougherty's page.
@@adilthescholarI live down the road from that building …it’s still there, but yeah , that company is long gone.
Can anyone recommend a good internet browser for under $30? I'm going to Best Buy shortly to get one for my new computer.
If you think that sounds silly, that's what the government was fighting for when they went after Bill Gates for monopolistic competition since he offered a browser for free when you bought a computer.
It's not that simple. Microsoft's browser was inferior and the company was injecting and effectively dictating it's own standards for web development. Opera is/was another browser. Microsoft was shipping free junk and unraveling a quickly evolving Internet. Developers (like myself) understand how poorly this would end for consumers. This is why Microsoft lost and was fined incredible amounts of money in Europe where lobbyist have less of a hold on regulation.
Be thankful that Microsoft did not win.
Elon musk loves Humanity ❤ God bless him whatever he desires
😁😅 A young Elon! Funny for everyone, themselves and in seeing. A sweetness of shared humanity as to that, weren’t we all, once, a child, a young kid/adult. Time goes so quickly, as such it seems. Good to see, this form of nostalgia 🙂
Musk was a founder and a chief engineer, but CEO was some shmuck in a suit. The man is a genius indeed.
for those who don’t know, Microsoft did in fact underinvest in the free browser they bundled with Windows. It was buggy and crappy and stifled innovation for a decade. Microsoft really was the evil empire of the computer industry.
How so? They literally saved Apple from going bankrupt to have more competition and avoid being charged to having a monopoly of the market.
Interesting watching this today given Google Chrome is essentially in the same position as Internet Explorer was back then, and Google are facing lawsuits about being a monopoly. Everything old is new again :)
"none of the experts can predict the outcome"
The outcome is: Elon Wins. (Cubs win. Cubs win. CUBS WIN!)
I got a feeling bout that Elon kid. He will do some great things one day
He did one day, maybe with Tesla but those days have passed already. Aged like milk
It almost seem that Elon was a better speaker and communicator then compared to now.
He didn't have to worry about people skewing every word in his mouth like they do nowadays.
He wasn’t as tired back then. Even today, he is much clearer when he has slept properly.
His mind was nascent and fresh, he only had Zip2 as a creative outlet per se at this time.
With the sheer amount of companies he's dealt with and driven to get to where we are now, the mind becomes far more multi-faceted.
When he speaks now his cognitive state is 10/20x branched.
I think this Elon guy could be making a lot of money in the future! Keep at it kid, you’ve definitely got great potential!
The 90s were the most successful time for net users. Thanks to people like Elon musk take us to Mars man and let's drive your roadster
these videos r gold
Love how Elon drove two iconic piston-engined British cars:
- McLaren F1 V12
- Jaguar E-Type inline 6
Glad he never positioned Tesla as a "climate hero" company, but that electric drive just makes more sense for most use cases.
I have been following Elon since 2002 at that time I didn't know that he would be a household name.
2:56 Mark ~~~ GOD I miss Netscape!!!
@04:50 heard BASKET CASE
by GREENDAY album Dookie
I was born in 1999. I hate that I didn't invest in Elon's companies back in 1998.
at 1:25, the server guy is from silicon valley.
The Elon guy here seems pretty smart. I bet he will go places.
decades later Microsoft took his openAI start up lol
Journalism was so much better before 9/11 and it just feels like another world compared to today's media landscape. Today it's just agitation, division, shouting and opinion. At that time back then, however, it was about summarising a complex topic and letting the viewer form their own opinion.
I really miss these times!
Exactly!
6:18 That became so true, Apple & Google literally pulled down Microsoft with their innovations !
But Microsoft had to actually save Apple from bankruptcy to alleviate the charges of MS having a monopoly.
