SH&TNS - Throwback Thursday iBooks, Y2K & Woodstock '99: The Nightshift Will Party Like It’s 1999
Tech expert and journalist Carmi Levy joins Shane Hewitt for Throwback Thursday, marking 25 years since Apple introduced the iBook G3—the first mainstream computer with built-in Wi-Fi. They revisit the Macworld NY 1999 launch, Steve Jobs’ flair for spectacle, and the big tech buzzwords of the era: BlackBerry, Y2K, and the dawn of wireless freedom.
Ed Conroy, founder of Retrontario, joins Shane Hewitt to explore the chaotic brilliance of 1999, from Y2K dread and Woodstock ’99 meltdowns to the birth of digital piracy and pop culture legends like SpongeBob, Family Guy, and The Matrix. It’s a nostalgic look at a year that fused technological anxiety with creative explosion—leaving a cultural legacy that still echoes today.
