I think the time table is a little off.
MP3 was not puplar until ipod, which came out during the early 2000's. You're a decade ahead.
A bit off, MP3s became popular in the late 90s. The ipod was late to the game. Winamp was released in 97 or 98, I believe.
Video Tapes have being out since the 70's. So you're a decade behind.
DVD didn't hit the shelf till the mid 1990's and wasn't affordable till late 1990's.
Late 70s vs early 80s, half decade off. DVDs were affordable (depending on your definition of "affordable") pretty much when released. It was the DVD players that were expensive.
DVD ROM drives is worthless without a computer, and the good old TV DVD set up is much cheaper than a computer, and still is.
So you think computers were invented in the last 15 years? Computers were widespread in the mid 90s (remember Windows 95?). All it took was to upgrade to a DVD-ROM drive, which cost a few hundred dollars, vs the early consumer DVD players which were closer to $1000. I remember lots of discussions about playing DVDs on computers as a cheaper way of watching them, especially since the software could be gotten for "free."
Consumer level computer music editing wasn't available till the late 1990's.
Wrong again. Consumer music software was available in the 80s. Several programs were available for the Atari ST and Amiga, for example.
Porn has been online since the computer was invented, during apollo missions?
I wouldn't be surprised if it was. I remember seeing ASCII porn in the early 80s. Yeah, quality sucked, but it was still available.
I know people talked about crossing dimensions... than again, why call a funny piece of art bullshit when it was designed to entertain.
Well, usually humour is based on truth, and there is no truth to this cartoon. That's why I didn't find it humorous at all. In fact, it struck me as being about 15 years out of date. That was the point of my rant. Computers have been around for a long time now, and have changed the way we have been doing things long before "today." In fact, as some pundits have postulated, we are in a "post-pc" era now, and the "Today" panels should have shown someone using a smartphone or tablet rather than a desktop pc. That is how far off that cartoon is.
So yeah, I guess if you have a low standard for humour and have been in a coma for the last 15 years, you might have found that cartoon funny. I just found it perplexing since it seemed so out of date that I didn't really see the humour or the point of it.
