So you could write to the internet?

We came across this video today, which is a 1994 news clip on defining what the internet is:



What does the "@" symbol mean? Seriously? I like how it wasn't even the proper @, but actually an "a" with a circle around it. Since it's part of everyone's email, I don't think I've ever confused it with something else. 

On the other hand, I'm not sure if I could properly define the internet to someone who's never used it.

  1. Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to stupid things that Bryant Gumble has said aloud. You'd think news people would have known all about the internet (especially in NYC) back in 1994. Even I knew about it and I didn't have a computer. Thank God they don't let him announce games on the NFL Network anymore - that was actually worse!
