The 90''s magazine was pretty sad in it´s own right, not because it told what happened back then but also predicted things that is happening right now.
Damn it, I just wanted to look at goofy haired nerds with glasses playing on their playstation 1 but now Im thinking about humanity. Who's cutting onions? ffs.
Timo Eberle it's a timely process, but when people find em, the vids will speak for themselves. I love how he takes his time and comes out with incredible videos. In due time, he will be famous.
Baby Palace I've watched one video and have been hooked. I have classes in the morning but I've been bingeing these videos. Such an in depth look on a hand full of topics. It's almost like peering into another persons mind the way he projects his ideas and thoughts.
Wait, he isn't yet? Holy shit I've been watching your videos for a few weeks and I would have sworn your channel was huge. 180k isn't exactly small, but I can see it blowing up at any moment now. Great content.
Holy crap, seeing those old ads brought back a ton of memories for me. I remember shopping for a computer in 2000-2001 in preparation for junior high, and those spec sheets brought a smile to my face.
This probably the only video on youtube to suggest the possibility that tech is actually regressing due to lack of competition in the market place. Good job man, your channel deserves way more credit.
Yo I remember buying that Compaq pc to play games like doom, house of the dead, use Encarta & then one day i got the blue screen of death trying to sneak watch porn lol
Damn. That was some pretty deep stuff, especially since I thought it was going to be a comparison of like, "Oh look how funny these ads are, and now look how serious we've gotten." But what you say is right. As technology evolves, so do our opinions. We forget to think that back then, shit like 3D rendered polygons at like, 30 FPS was INSANE. Never HEARD of such a thing. Like looking back at Mario 64 and being like, "Yeah, this was groundbreaking before. Look how doofy everything looked." And they'll be saying that about TODAY'S Mario in 20 years. We as people evolve so much that we kind of take what we have for granted, and OFTEN... Sorry if this wasn't the point of your video, but I'm bad at comprehension.. xP Still loved it though! I love tech, so this was a trip. :3
It really makes you think about how much we try to work with very limited hardware. With some businesses, you could have a banana and have them blow it up enough for you to want it. Please do more
if that's the case than we cant ridicule any computer technology because its all impressive to someone. i dont see cats developing their own cpu architecture any time soon.
I saw this video in recommended in the side of a gaming video. I clicked on it cus why not. I saw the video. I thought it was made by i big youtuber channel with 3-4 million subs. I exit fullscreen and look at the likes, subs and comments of the video. I hope your channel blows up soon, you really deserve it.
3:03 the sight and sound for windows xp is turning on the pc in the middle of the night blinding yourself (sight) and waking up everyone with the startup sound
The whole stupid f***ing RGB fad now reminds me very much of the hit-and-miss design cues from '99/early 2000s. It's a step backward in and of itself. And heaven forbid you criticise it now, or you're loopy, just like criticising something back then was loopy. The thing is though, 1999 sounds like it was a long time ago, and it is in some regards, but using the RGB thing as an example, people are still suckers for gimmicks today.
I do agree some people over emphasize RGB in their rigs for kicks, but there are some very ascetically pleasing custom builds with RGB. i personally only use Red for my themed build. i dont need a disco floor in my pc. with that said i guarantee you buy "gimmicky" shit too and dont realize it.
I clicked on this video on my recommended and I have to say that this is a damn good video that was well written and really thought provoking and I loved it.
Bravo! Great and thoughtful. Too bad there are so many knuckle draggers who can't appreciate this philosophical video. One of the best tech channels on RUclips.
2:52 Ya there are a few games I remember fondly and tried to get on the modern computer and just could not get back into it. Memories are one thing. But really what we expect from gaming now has changed a lot and it is hard to go back to what was.
Really well made video, man. I'll look through your other stuff. I like your production quality, audio quality... it's all on point. More than that, though, you have good content.
As an antique collector I have several (hundreds) of magazines from the 1920s and my favorite ad is from Western Electric that says "A metal tongue millions of miles long...this was an ad for telephone wiring that was strung from telephone poles......
Nah I'm pretty sure they had actual supercomputers for science back then but yeah I get what you mean, it runs the only two games I play so I don't need to upgrade it really.
Anyone else remember Computer Shopper? The magazine you bought for the ads? Shotgun News was like that. Back before the internet people would actually pay for ads.
I dunno in terms of tech i think we have come far but saying today's tech will be laughable in 10 years or 20... debatable. We are at the peak end of Moores law and things may slow down rather than progress. Unless we get another form of tech that is not silicon then things will stay as they are, I mean yes there are rumors of DNA computers but we are still a long way off. I mean no one can forsee the future but it doesnt look good for silicone based computers
First of all, fantastic video. I had to watch it a couple of times. Second, a less effecient but exponentially more satisfying way to cut pasta is to roll the sheet and slice it, then unroll each separate noodle. Thanks.
Hey Bernard! Im glad i found your channel your talks are great! Keep it up! I was wondering as someone considering of applying to med school - what made you decide to become a doctor?
Just stumbled on your channel this day. keep it up sir! you're really doing great. you deserve more views and subscribers. ☺ keep making awesome tech videos like this!
“[Technology] serves as a tool or method to accomplish a human need or want … it satisfies needs and wants for *us*. It will always tie back to the value it delivers to its … user.” Someone had been reading Das Kapital. Because that’s damn near exactly how it describes commodities.
I've had so many amazing memories from this channel, and from hanging out with you. So happy to see all the new people giving you the recognition you deserve
I built my first computer at the end of 1999. It was top end. 20gig HDD, AMD Athlon cpu (can't recall size), 128mb memory, a kick-arse NVidia GeForce 64mb card and of course a DVD-rom, CD-writer and floppy drive. Big fucking 19 or 20 in CRT monitor in everyone's favourite shade grey-beige (greige). It cost me NZ$4900 and it was considered so fabulous that EA Games asked me if I wanted to beta test the new Sims game. NInety-nine others were also chosen. Wow, so funny thinking back to those days. I'd have a download manager running sixteen hours on 56.6k dial up to download photoshop. Warez was commonplace. Usenet/Newgroups is where you went to connect with like minded individuals. Alt groups being the most interesting (around 40,000 of them) ranging from alt. suicide holiday through to alt.drugs, alt.2600.warez and thousands upon thousands more.
Great philosophical video of how people perceive technology as irrelevant when inventions evolve during their lifetime. Socrates, " The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."
First time chancing across your channel, and you really struck a chord with me. No matter how much technology improves, and no matter how far we progress; Humans are still the same. Still the same fears, still the same thinking, still the same little tricks to get people to buy stuff. But if our ever-advancing technology isn't solving the problems; What do we do? Where do we turn? You've given me a lot to think about as I start my day... Thank you.
I just happened to land on this video and I've got to say you are making some great content. I specifically like your comparing and contrasting fads of the past and now, and how in the future we'll feel the same way about it.
64GB of RAM may still be a lot for personal computers, but that ad was for the servers & mainframe of large corporations and I doubt any of them would be satisfied with that amount of RAM today.
hey everyone! did you catch the last video? ruclips.net/video/BWgbzJPWMz4/видео.html 💪 thanks for watching :)
Yo has anybody ever told you, that you look like Chozen the antagonist of The Karate Kid 2 because you do lol
do you remember the microsoft freestyle controller?
Hmm the link leads me to the same video I'm watching right now.These Tech Ads From 1999 Are Ridiculous. How Do They Compare To Today's Ads?
+Chang Chien Sam good catch. thanks
+Justin david Ocfemia vagely but i never used it
Thought-provoking analysis here. "Alive and well is the medical misinformation on the internet." Totally down to see more stuff like this!
definitely! could be a fun series to make!
Lazy Game Reviews hey! Its LGR! :D really cool to see you on a comment
LGR Oh
The 90''s magazine was pretty sad in it´s own right, not because it told what happened back then but also predicted things that is happening right now.
Ah, so this is where it began
1:11 "For the low price of $2299, you too can look like Tom Cruise and buy another Compaq PC" 😂😂😂
Hearing your background music start and not hearing a patient's initials gave me weird vibes. 😂
Damn it, I just wanted to look at goofy haired nerds with glasses playing on their playstation 1 but now Im thinking about humanity. Who's cutting onions? ffs.
the sarcasm in your voice is brilliant
how can your channel not blow up, every video is a dime it only needs one video on the trending page
thanks man. i know you've been around since the very beginning and thanks for that 🙏
Timo Eberle it's a timely process, but when people find em, the vids will speak for themselves. I love how he takes his time and comes out with incredible videos. In due time, he will be famous.

Boom. Happened.
that ryzen slap in the face 😂
That Man Melvin 😂😂😊
that was gangsta
antonne walker And with Ryzen 2 on the rise... the new age of AMD has come
New Horizons Delta Hello, I’m from the future. Ryzen 2 was meh but Ryzen gen 3 brings 7nm processors and have more cores than ever😉
Holy crap, seeing those old ads brought back a ton of memories for me. I remember shopping for a computer in 2000-2001 in preparation for junior high, and those spec sheets brought a smile to my face.

Arihiroki I remember first installing fable with its 5 discs and getting about 20 fps
Lmfao so you got a virus
this went from laughing at old pc ads to a lecture lol
Damn. That was some pretty deep stuff, especially since I thought it was going to be a comparison of like, "Oh look how funny these ads are, and now look how serious we've gotten."

thanks man :)
Chubbyemu you look tence 😂😂😂😂
Honestly -- Kind pissed off.
Thought that after you lost the weight, you'd do all of your videos shirtless.
Great video though
It really makes you think about how much we try to work with very limited hardware. With some businesses, you could have a banana and have them blow it up enough for you to want it. Please do more
this got way deeper than i expected but i fully agree, i think about that a lot
I think it's a bit naive to look back almost 20 years ago and ridicule game graphics that are actually really impressive if you think about it.
if that's the case than we cant ridicule any computer technology because its all impressive to someone.
i dont see cats developing their own cpu architecture any time soon.
I love your "clickbait but not really" approach to RUclips. It's actual interesting and well-made content. No wonder you're growing big!
Really starting to like these tech videos, I hope they are fairly regular!
thanks man!
No worries. What exactly do you plan for your channel in the near and distant future, or are you still figuring it all out at the moment?
James Watts Whatever's trending in Benard's world. We're just along for the ride [;
@@jameswatts6787 I think he figured it out.
Hey, Bernard, I loved this! Keep the content coming! They inspire and are flat out entertaining!
thanks!
"...prepare for battle stations"
Holy sh*t, we need more of this kind of quotes, give me more dang it
I really enjoy these tech related vids chubs. Great video!
thanks dakota!

this comment aged well
@@kznpuyo :DD
that was strangely emotional for me. fantastic video and stunning philosophy you put across here.
my favorite medical video
You're editing and presentation is great man!
I haven't seen a video like this in a while, youtube needs more of this.

wow, you just hit me with the feels train talking about that antec case.
I clicked on this video on my recommended and I have to say that this is a damn good video that was well written and really thought provoking and I loved it.
Came for a tech-evolution video, leaving with a philosophy lesson. Good Job!
I liked his speech, more than his comparisons.
Beautiful and thoughtful. I love your sense of editing. Especially the grandma. Keep up the good work.
Couldn't say it better.
#RespectYourElders
Valid point bro and I love those old magazines
Bravo! Great and thoughtful. Too bad there are so many knuckle draggers who can't appreciate this philosophical video. One of the best tech channels on RUclips.
2:52 Ya there are a few games I remember fondly and tried to get on the modern computer and just could not get back into it. Memories are one thing. But really what we expect from gaming now has changed a lot and it is hard to go back to what was.
videos like this are motivating. thanks for keeping this up
Really well made video, man. I'll look through your other stuff. I like your production quality, audio quality... it's all on point. More than that, though, you have good content.
As an antique collector I have several (hundreds) of magazines from the 1920s and my favorite ad is from Western Electric that says "A metal tongue millions of miles long...this was an ad for telephone wiring that was strung from telephone poles......
So glad you've left all your content visible as you've changed direction. This is incredible! 🖱️🍍
was not expecting the feels ending, that is honestly the most legit way to do that i have ever seen.
I'm still running an Intel i3 processor with 8 GB RAM and an Nvidia Geforce GT 710 graphics card. Get's the job done.
Yea, just don't get used to better things or increase your needs.
I can play CSGO and League of Legends with 70+ fps so that's all I need :p
Jungle Annie in 90 s it will be like a supercomputer
Nah I'm pretty sure they had actual supercomputers for science back then but yeah I get what you mean, it runs the only two games I play so I don't need to upgrade it really.
i still use the pentium3 often and pentium4 a lot, it is also good enough for me :-)
yeah, i have a high spec pc... if it were the 90s..
I'm going through some existential crisis watching your older videos, coming from your medical ones. The music especially, lol.
Anyone else remember Computer Shopper?
The magazine you bought for the ads?
Shotgun News was like that.
Back before the internet people would actually pay for ads.
idk how i found your channel but I'm happy i did. keep up the great work!
dude. I'm really getting into your videos. both types. the pc ones and the weight loss ones. you probably wont see this. but keep up the good work!
When he got all philosophical, it just reminded me of today's culture war.
Windows XP was the last one to offer multiple audio outputs. Digital & analog. I miss it!!
I stumbled upon your channel. You have a gift in creating videos!
I’m just imagining Chubbyemu reading this in his serious tone as though he were explaining a case in his monthly video-
The thought is hilarious-
7:48 is my favorite point great vid
Remember the Amigo? Why did we buy that? We didn’t have internet. But we could play Tetris. Wooow. Lol
This channel is going far, i love your content.
dude, your videos are very good, congrats
3:41 I remember when this type of chassis was a thing a while after the year 2000.
I dunno in terms of tech i think we have come far but saying today's tech will be laughable in 10 years or 20... debatable.
We are at the peak end of Moores law and things may slow down rather than progress.
Unless we get another form of tech that is not silicon then things will stay as they are, I mean yes there are rumors of DNA computers but we are still a long way off.
I mean no one can forsee the future but it doesnt look good for silicone based computers
i agree we are hitting the physical limit. i hold out hope we will find that new paradigm when we're there. it's just not time yet
Ralph Bromley
graphene is next, if we can Mass produce it inexpensively it will change EVERYTHING.
Now that I will buy, VR has come a long way recently.
But how close we are to graphene being the standard? Unsure on that one.
I agree. We're closing in on a ceiling. We need another revolution in computing other than "smaller & faster" if we want to progress technologically.
These tech ads from 1999 are ridiculous. A mum was with her son watching tech ads -dark and gloomy story approaches-
First of all, fantastic video. I had to watch it a couple of times.
Second, a less effecient but exponentially more satisfying way to cut pasta is to roll the sheet and slice it, then unroll each separate noodle.
Thanks.
Going back and watching this gold. Always good content, my friend. 💙
5:58
I'd like to see those 4 x Pentium III Xeon with 4 GB of RAM trying to run current OSes and programs.
This video is wonderfully done. Thanks!
3:34 Wow in year 1999 they already predicted the launch of Nvidia next ultra high end graphics card, the Geforce GTX Titan 3.
The name "Titan" for computer parts was not very expected to see.
Hey Bernard! Im glad i found your channel your talks are great! Keep it up! I was wondering as someone considering of applying to med school - what made you decide to become a doctor?
1999, the best year ever!! That’s the year I graduated high school. Lol Can’t believe it’s been 22 years since then.
welp I look forward for my great great grand children seeing a 400 zettabyte phone
Just stumbled on your channel this day. keep it up sir! you're really doing great. you deserve more views and subscribers. ☺ keep making awesome tech videos like this!
God i love the way you make these videos. They're like video essays and those are the best kind of videos
7:00 I own the Antec version of that case and it's huge af
Found your channel yesterday talking about your 2010 PC. This is a really well done channel, subscribed and keep it up!
Haha 3:30
So Titan was a thing even before Titan😂
Noooo after all your medical videos this music makes me SO ANXIOUS
I came here for a comparison
I ended up with an existential crisis
Watching this in 2020 is hilarious
Oh, about the 64gigs ram... since it was advertised for servers, this is actually huge back in the day, off the shelf servers can go up to 1tb ram
Sadly, the expansion of the internet has made it even easier for people to spread fear.
4:17 and make your house go off electricity with our power consuming monitors

Oh my god. I'm not too far away from 2047, by then I'll be 52 years old. Holy shit.
so im a 2000's kid but not going to lie all this stuff from the 80's and 90's looks pretty cool and fun to use
I've had so many amazing memories from this channel, and from hanging out with you. So happy to see all the new people giving you the recognition you deserve
Matrix strikes back lol...nice video..feel nostalgic looking at those magazines..
BROOO, I'm really digging your tonal shifts at the end of these videos! I smoke weed and it really makes me think bro. 💯💯👍👍👍🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
You really had to mention weed. I don't smoke that and I can still think lol weed is nice tho
Didn't realize your other pc vid did so well. Should keep on keeping on with these tech vids.
I miss my IBM8088,blazing 3mhz speed, 640k memory,an awesum 10 meg hardcard ,AND..Doom,Overkill (heavy sigh)
I built my first computer at the end of 1999. It was top end. 20gig HDD, AMD Athlon cpu (can't recall size), 128mb memory, a kick-arse NVidia GeForce 64mb card and of course a DVD-rom, CD-writer and floppy drive. Big fucking 19 or 20 in CRT monitor in everyone's favourite shade grey-beige (greige). It cost me NZ$4900 and it was considered so fabulous that EA Games asked me if I wanted to beta test the new Sims game. NInety-nine others were also chosen. Wow, so funny thinking back to those days. I'd have a download manager running sixteen hours on 56.6k dial up to download photoshop. Warez was commonplace. Usenet/Newgroups is where you went to connect with like minded individuals. Alt groups being the most interesting (around 40,000 of them) ranging from alt. suicide holiday through to alt.drugs, alt.2600.warez and thousands upon thousands more.
"razorblade"
that word always gets my attention
The guy in the box at 3:00 reminds me a lot of Kappa
Great philosophical video of how people perceive technology as irrelevant when inventions evolve during their lifetime. Socrates, " The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."
your old videos are amazing
Dude you make some high quality videos!!! Subbed
Touché.
Thanks.
Good video.
Just what I was looking for.
First time chancing across your channel, and you really struck a chord with me.
No matter how much technology improves, and no matter how far we progress; Humans are still the same. Still the same fears, still the same thinking, still the same little tricks to get people to buy stuff.
But if our ever-advancing technology isn't solving the problems; What do we do? Where do we turn?
You've given me a lot to think about as I start my day... Thank you.
1:08 wow even very old computers had 7200RPM HDD where as the base model 21.5 mac only has 5400RPM
I just happened to land on this video and I've got to say you are making some great content. I specifically like your comparing and contrasting fads of the past and now, and how in the future we'll feel the same way about it.
wasn't expecting a sad feel ending.
I love the chief illiniwek T-shirt.
UMGAWA!!!!
64GB of RAM may still be a lot for personal computers, but that ad was for the servers & mainframe of large corporations and I doubt any of them would be satisfied with that amount of RAM today.
