The Birth Of Geek

I came across this picture today. Not literally although it's true to say I’ve rubbed one out to worse. Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures.



No it’s interesting because of what this group are doing.



They could be, I suppose, submitting a casting application for some freaks & geeks fantasy film, or perusing a David Bain knit sale online. They could even be creating a ‘group’ NZ Dating profile.



They’re not though. The date in the picture probably gives it away, if you’re a poindexter that is and let’s face it, these winners are. It’s the birth of the internet and it’s being shown at some show for the desperate and dateless where they get excited about things like binary code.



What this picture really reminds me of is those countless hours you spent at some wealthy mates house watching HIM play HIS computer game. We all knew some guy like that didn't we, who always got to one level off clocking the fucken thing and took ages doing it. Unlike you, who, having only ever played the game for forty seconds, promptly died in 41 when it was finally your turn again.



I wonder how much porn was on the Net back in those early days. Cause now I’m pretty sure if they took all of the porn off the damn thing there would only be two sites left; one called ‘Hey What Happened To All The Porn?’ and the other ‘Bring Back The Porn’.



Maybe this group got so excited at what they saw they went off and created the first upload?



Now there’s a scary thought.
