Hilarious! I remember seeing companies advertising their url's on their commercials and wondering what the hell that was all about. Then I went over to a friends house one night and he logged onto the web with his Prodigy account and 2400 baud modem and proceeded to download porn that took about 20 minutes to load into his browser. I knew right then and there that this internet thing was going to catch on.
This video is an example of why I get frustrated when people talk about how alternative energies or electric cars or high speed trains or stem cell research won't work. Like anything technological, you just have to give it time to be refined. Otherwise, when the breakthrough happens, you wind up sounding stupid the further away you get from the breakthrough.
BTW, Bryant Gumbel is stupid if he didn't know that symbol is called an ampersand.
