Upvote for that alone. I already loved Bill Maher. Now it's more of a quiet reverence.
Nobody new what the internet was in 1995?
Actually, his point was that in 1995 they had a pretty idea of what the Internet was about to become, and instead of reinvesting their profits in trying to prepare, they spent it all on hookers and blow.
well, more like no one cared, and it wasn't quite the present implementation... more cultish? expensive? exclusive?
It was neither expensive, nor exclusive (outside of the fact that it wasn't common knowledge yet) in '95, but it was definitely more cultish. I can remember when there were very specific websites for information without all of the overlap that we have now; like the Star Wars site at the University of Pennsylvania -- it was, tbh, one of the few websites out there with that type of concise nerd info.
Also, the perception was different, that type of quick information in an easily accessible format was new and exciting (even if you were a previous BBS user), and the only people with decent websites were university students/faculty and companies like Disney; and, honestly, commercial websites didn't really put a lot of effort into the content, even if the website was flashy because the audience was so small. Angelfire, Tripod and Geocities were on the way to drawing in an audience and search engines were questionably accurate. It was California before the railroads.
