The 1994 video of NBC's Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel discussing the internet has reportedly gotten the man who released it fired. Apparently, NBC didn't get the memo about all of us relating to the reporters in the video because, well, IT WAS 1994. Seriously? If you can't laugh at yourself, then you must have a miserable life. I fully expect my children to find pictures of my 2000's hairstyle and make fun of me. I'll probably find it funny myself. As for the internet, I don't think any of us truly knew what it would develop into and we still can only speculate about where it will go from here (my bet is on Google creating something sentient).
So, if you would like to see the video, just Google it. NBC is pulling them left and right, so it makes little sense to post a video that will go dead soon. However, they don't seem to understand the internet and, maybe, that's why they don't get the joke - you can play wack-a-mole all you like, but nothing dies online.
