I’m such a geek that I actually enjoyed this. Described as:
Found footage on a VHS tape of a very early TV show about the Internet from Japan. Please write to me at carl at media.org if you have details. At about 2′ in, there was a one-minute blank gap that was edited out.
The show features Jun Murai, the Internet Samurai, in one of his first television appearances.
One of the US demonstrators notes:
A 2MB file might take a long time to download
The beauty of how far we’ve traveled from the time this video was procued is that I could have downloaded this 2GB (1024 megabytes) file in a few minutes – of course, it helps that I live in Japan!
h/t to Carl & the Internet Archives
(oh, and, can I be the Internet Samurai this year, pretty please? 
)
