Ep 52: Ancient Memes and the Internet That Was


Listen Later

Today we go back in time to the age of Geocities sites, MySpace, and can-has-cheeseburger memes. Most of us are digital natives who grew up with a working knowledge of HTML and flash animation — the internet’s earliest forms of user generated content. Nostalgia permeates today’s episode, with its callbacks to web rings and midis, but also communicates the pitfalls of hours-long download times and infectious LimeWire files. Join us for 20 minutes of reminiscing and joking about the ancient internet of the 1990s and 2000s.
