They do explicitly put "WWW" in the icon, but HTTP was started in 1989 and 1995 is what I've found listed for 50M people so they're off by one.

I'm guessing "computers" means PC, but I dunno what "mobiles" means. 12 years is too long for iPhones (what's pictured) and too short for AMPS.

More generally, I think those numbers reflect much more on the capital costs required to grow the userbase of each device than anything else.

We're still quite a ways from Micheal summoning KITT to pick him up.





By this point, Micheal has been captured by the bad guys, sold to a Columbian gang to pay off a drug debt, and traded to North Korea in exchange for man-portable SA missiles under the false promise that the technology inside his watch would allow them to solve their ICBM guidance problems.

I meant the bowl haircut. That's a white-supremacy symbol now.

TL;DR: Take out loans you can't afford to repay, then blame others for your situation and demand debt-forgiveness.

As is typical, the title of the video is mis-leading. Overall some good advice by WB. Note that this was in 1999, a little before student loans got out of hand. WB is suggesting to come out of college with no debt and a bit of savings. Do what you enjoy and live wiithin your means.

Joe, yes, it is a bit long.

^I lucked out, I guess, in that since. I graduated in Dec 2005 and was able to consolidate all my loans to a ridiculously low rate. Like it's lower than inflation so I have never bothered trying to pay it off early.
