I love these old COMDEX episodes..you seen a lot of innovation. Stuff that was years ahead of its time, and other stuff that never took off. Its cool looking back as if you are a time traveler watching predictions.
Right? I'm always blown away by these old Computer Chronicles episodes and consistently impressed by the innovation shown nearly 40 years ago. It makes me less impressed with what I see coming out now.
So now we talk to people around the world on Skype and phone apps for free.. just have high speed internet COMDEX was such a great show to attend..! Glad I was there
RIP Charles Rich. He ended up being a big part of A.I. development, a research scientist at MIT and professor at WPI among other things. Passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2018
I love that idea of calling your friends overseas for the price of a local call. For many years now you've been able to talk to anybody anywhere in the world for free. I've been called many names in many different languages, it's great.
Browse the internet using a real life 3D interface? Did anyone get beyond the initial ‘Wow, never thought of that’ excitement and really dive into whether it adds tangible value.
The 1995 Comdex convention in Las Vegas NV looks like it was very nice. I believe that I would have liked to see a lot of the stuff up close and personal. But I don't have the amount of money to afford attending such an event as Comdex.
We are now starting to see 3D environments becoming mature in applications such as Oculus and Valve Index. Crazy to see how these early concepts have evolved 25+ years later
I acquired a dozen 1GB Jazz cartridges and a drive in 1999 for 10 bucks. It was slow but it was how I would boot up newly acquired legacy mac systems that I would buy at the flea markets at De Anza college in Cupertino and Los Positas in Livermore. Back when you just needed a the finder and system file and maybe some extensions depending on what you were doing. And gas was under 2 bucks a gallon.
20:55 I can tell you I would have bought that mouse. I bought the Logitech G600 for exactly that reason. Only I use the very right button as middleclick. If you use blender for example it is insanely comfortable that way.
The business version of that is the 3DConnexion (owned by Logitech) CadMouse. It's a 3-button plus scroll wheel mouse specifically for 3D modeling apps.
3D web browsing never took off, just like 3D on your tv. Just 5 years ago, all new highend tvs came with 3D glasses. Now, no tv includes them anymore...
3D never took off coz there's no 3d content to watch. I still miss my HTC Evo 3d, it had 3d cameras and you could watch those 3d pictures on the 3d display of the phone, it was absolutely amazing.

8:00 this was the pre-cursor to Peleton. Crazy they had that idea back in 1995.
i use to watch this show on sundays on pbs . miss this show
Amen

That casio digital camera, that standup pc, that plasma tv and flap square crt tv were surely olala!!!

I can't help but laugh the whole way trough these videos :D
go poop yo pants big old grandma
no, this "internet" thing sounds like a fad that won't last 6 months.

Love this
9:17 And where are they now? Google took over the crown.
Would be quite a few years before those portable devices became powerful enough to be useful versus just expensive novelties.
Terry..what a babe.
She has a very pretty face and nice smile 😊
Watching IBM and Intuit blow armadillos in a race made my night. The 90s looked like fun!
I could've sworn that was a euphemism lol
Highlight of this episode for me:Terry Farrell pretending to be flattered about an internet fan club at 25:45 😂
Terry Farrell seems like a lovely person.
These devices were beyond the average people to afford. Wow. Time flies. Now in 2020 electronic devices like these are very very cheap to buy.
Imagine going back in time and making those web sites. They look like they took 10 minutes

So what happened to 3D TVs in 2020?
6:23 Star Trek Voyager! That show must have just gone air?
3-D web browsers, eh?
That would be perfect for when I hack the Gibson even though I haven't thought up what my handle should be.
so you used internet coming through a phone line to make a phone call... Early internet was ahead of its time
The newton.AKA the PDA - AKA the smartphone.
If they only knew how badly the telecoms would take us to the cleaners for this tech
26 years later we now have Windows 365.
Win term, the mid 90's chromebook
LOL I was their!
There*
That ISDN network looks faster than my cablemodem broadband connection.
Imagine how expensive that LCD 42 inch TV was in 1995 ? must have been like 10 grand lol
$20k

Armadillo race
People were really interested In technology back then. Now it's all about kids asking how many fps the pc can run Fortnite...
3:45 - Bill Gates jacket is out of control! Like 2 sizes too big. Lol
Like him next to Epstein’s island girls
Заебись фирма фыва фыва фыва фыва фыва
Pc dinasor 🦖🦖🦖🦖
The audio is out of sync
Bill Gates guess right a lot on where things were going
And he was on Epstein’s island a lot too, so there’s that.

Just webcrawl it!

It's too bad, as a kid I loved the idea of "Cyberspace" being a 3D digital world to explore like they did in the movies back then.
Imo for simple reason (that will never change) - our brain has limits, there is already too much information to process.
3D never took off coz there's no 3d content to watch. I still miss my HTC Evo 3d, it had 3d cameras and you could watch those 3d pictures on the 3d display of the phone, it was absolutely amazing.
3D browsers lol. Everyone wanted to be Nintendo 64 back then!
no chinese here
US companies hadn’t completely sold out to China yet. Today, however…
So much fail in one video.
Where? Looks great for 1995
