VIDEO: This clip of teenagers using Windows 95 will make anyone over 30 feel ancient

Tony Cuddihy

Warning: May make you feel prehistoric.

“It’s a Dell. Not the singer, but a Dell,” and so on as these teenagers get to grips with a piece of technology that is now more than two decades old.

The Bill Gates monstrosity was state of the art back in the mid-1990s and sold more than seven million copies in the first few weeks.

This video from Fine Brothers Entertainment shows teenagers getting up close and personal with technology from the past, struggling to even turn it on (they mistake the power buttons on both the monitor and the PC itself).

“It’s prehistoric. It’s an old dinosaur.”

And we feel ancient.
