A fun sort of online museum with exhibits on the early internet. From the first mp3, to the dancing baby gif, to the first webcam feed of a coffee maker and more. This was really cool!

Yeah Netflix really started taking off once TV shows started getting DVD releases. These DVD sets were expensive, but you could get a 3-disc Netflix plan for $15/mo and realistically binge an entire season of 24 in two weeks. This is what I think turned Netflix from a Blockbuster alternative into a Blockbuster killer.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
