Today, my brother found some old "Bravo Hits" CDs from 1994 and 1995. So I took them and listened to a few tracks of it. The 80s are dark ages regarding popular music, but to be honest, the 90s weren't any better: so much crappy music, it's really awful. Especially that techno stuff. Really bad sound, and totally callow compared to today's electronic music. And just like today, 99 % of all "artists" were one-hit-wonder losers.
But then I found one thing that highly amused me, namely in the "Bravo Hits 11" booklet: the whole booklet was dedicated to some mystical thing called "the internet" that had something to do with computers and world-wide communication. Two pages were made to explain the most important buzzwords and phrases, but see below for some examples (sorry, it's in German):
Web Page - Eine Seite im World Wide Web. Ungefähr so groß wie Dein Computer-Monitor, kann Texte, Bilder, Töne und Hyperlinks enthalten.
Netscape - Mit dieser Software macht das Surfen durch das Internet [...] besonders viel Spaß. [...]
That was almost 10 years ago, and (in some way, fortunately) they couldn't predict many important developments of the internet, e.g. instant messaging, weblogs, the spam problem, P2P, ...
Yes, those were the days...
