What's that sound? Oh, you mean my dial-up modem connecting to the World Wide Web?

At one point in our lives, most adults have enjoyed the sweet gratification from hearing the words "You've got mail!" But the youths of the world have always viewed the Internet as an endless Tumblr of cat GIFs and YouTube fail compilations.

The Fine Bros, in another rousing rendition of "These Kids Will Make You Feel Ancient" (OK, the series is really called "Kids React"), show teenagers old-school tutorials on using the Internet.

They don't seem amused.

But the ads are a perfect time capsule of early '90s humor. "Web page? What’s that? Something ducks walk on?" Classic.
