When Internet is new

Postby Netherrealmer » 29 Oct 2025, 16:42



So, this is an old report from BBC back in 1994, and basically, when this report is created, Internet is new. And, you know, to the people who probably watched this report back then, the concept of Internet is like science fiction come true. But now, it became an everyday part of our life, and now we are on an era where the new thing is AI, and we are scared of it because of what it is doing right now. I mean, when Internet is created, the fear of the Internet is not as severe as what we end up having because back then, they are afraid of Internet porn being found by kids, which is not really a huge threat. But now, we are fearing something else. We are fearing AI taking over our jobs and our truth.

I embraced the Internet willingly and am happy that it exists and yes, AI is indeed a threat to jobs being taken over. The temptation to depend on it can put a dent on our memory

B you are absolutely right. When the net started people were wondering if it was magic. Now it is just normal everyone uses it without stress. AI has also entered rapidly and people are panicking about work and reality being lost.

But I believe every technology has its benefits. If we learn to use it well we can improve our lives. We cannot stop it but we can understand it. Let's not let fear stop us from growing.

I remember my first time experiencing internet is that I knew how to use it right away. No one taught me how to use it. I just tried it and then I've been trying to click every website I can go to. That's how fascinated I was. The first time I encountered internet, especially in a post-war situation.

Maybe the real lesson from the internet era is that we should take AI risks seriously now.

It is true that the biggest lesson from the internet era is that we cannot ignore AI risks. Technology, if it grows unchecked, can cause serious harm. It is a saying that if you don't close the gap, you will build a wall. We must be careful about how we use AI and set clear rules. This is not a game of random experimentation. If we take risks seriously, we can make profits without destroying the future.

Yeah, every new technology teaches us something, and AI is no different. Better to set limits early than fix chaos later.

This old news feature, I have no idea the potential of internet will be and there are things that it's so going to replace. You know, people from the 90s never thought that video streaming will be a thing.

What you say reflects both fear and wonder about the potential of the internet. The truth is that the internet has been changing life at every level, from communication to business to even education. Each new technology accelerates the pace of change, and often eliminates old ways of doing things.

Things like postal mail, CD stores, or even paper newspapers have already become obsolete because the internet has brought a quick and easy alternative. As AI and cloud services advance, there is a greater opportunity for jobs and services to be replaced or integrated online.

But the internet is also creating new opportunities that didn’t exist before. Like online micro-businesses, digital freelancing, and borderless global communication. So it’s not just about replacing things, it’s also about opening new doors of creativity and opportunity.

And now it is. Everything that wasn't possible then is possible now.
