If you’re anything like us, you love a niche holiday and today’s international day is not just niche, but nostalgic.
In celebration of how far the internet and web (yes they are technically different), technology and equipment have come, we spoke with some of our colleagues from across the digital RTL Teams.
So come along with us on this journey to yesteryear, to a simpler time when mice had balls and computers couldn’t fit in your pocket.
In case you were wondering if we really did hand select our participants, you can peak at everyone’s internet credentials below:
Martin Jonsson of the RTL Today site and beyond, who got in trouble while surfing the web on a library computer as a child.
Meredith Moss of RTL Today Radio, one of Napster’s official top users back in the day.
Kevin Kayser of RTL LU who took part in our video under the false pretense he would be allowed to break a floppy disk.
Gael Arellano of 5 Minutes, who flaunted his Chilean heritage in his first ever username gaelechileno89.
Alannah Meyrath of RTL Today, who has no idea what dial-up internet was.
Special guest Patrick Villar Meneses from iHelef, the very first person at his school to have an ipod touch.
