What If LinkedIn Was Invented in the ’80s? [VIDEO]

If you thought job hunting was difficult today, imagine how painful the process would've been in the past, without the Internet.

This video, created by Squirrel-Money, conceptualizes what LinkedIn would look like if it were a software program from the '80s. Rather than quickly signing up and getting started, you would need to print and fill out the membership form to receive the "LinkedIn CD-ROM."

The video also shows how far we've come in web design. We're skeptical that today's professional would take a site with such low-quality graphics seriously.
