On a January 24, 1994 Today Show, Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel are reporting an email address (violence@nbc.ge.com) and get into a debate of what the internet is. Some of my favorite quotes are below.
“What is the internet anyways?”
“Internet is that massive computer network the one that’s becoming really big now”
“That little mark with the ‘a’ and then the ring around it”
“Katie said she thought it was ‘about’ ”
“What do you write to it like mail?”
“Allison, can you explain what internet is?”

“you don’t need a phone line to operate internet?” “No.”
“It’s getting bigger and bigger all the time”
Bryant? Gumbel – reluctantly: “Just great…”
