We've been on internet longer than we care to think about, but we do enjoy the occasional look back at the history of this Earth-shaking medium—all the way back to the dark ages of 1997! Remember when the webcam was a young and vibrant technology seeking to unite the globe, and all our heads were filled with dreams of someday making love to Cindy Crawford over an interactive broadband virtual reality sex machine? Hal Pink at Tramp Stamp Studios has unearthed this dusty documentary footage from the early days of teledildonics (when he wasn't even Pink yet) where he reveals the ancient voodoo magic of remote-controlled cockrings to a wide-eyed British TV host. As we look back at the state of the art in vibrating eggs and video web chats from all those ages ago we can't help but think, "Wow ... look how far we haven't come in ten years." Seriously, aren't these pretty much the same options we have today? Where are our VR goggles and pulsating body suits and fleshy, photorealistic cyberbabes? This video could have been shot last week, and we'd hardly be able to tell the difference. Snap to it, geeks! We're not going to live forever ... unless you've been working on a solution for that instead?
