>In 1996, 19-year-old Jennifer Ringley turned on a webcam that sat on top of the computer in her college dorm room. In that simple act, writes Aleks Krotoski, she changed the modern world.
>It would be, at first glance, a perfectly innocent thing to do. But rather than use the cam to speak to friends and family back home in Harrisburg, Pennyslvania, she used it to do a most unusual thing: to broadcast herself live, to a globe of strangers, 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

Anyone here old enough to remember this?
the first attention whore
>implying not all webcams are monitored 24/7
>at times she would engage in masturbation and sexual intercourse while the camera was streaming

It was a warning of things to come.
Womyn only care about being desired.
>>57131140
That's not women that come to watch those streams though. The watcher's part in this is worse on a moral point.
There were already porn houses set up by this time so this article is bullshit. Porn studios use to put a bunch of girls in 1 house naked and viewers could pay to watch them 24/7/365. Some of the times they would fuck each other.

Streamed live online 24/7 before 1996? The article says there were already reality TV shows like Big Brother, but says she was the first to do it via webcam.
>>57131659
yes webcams, shitty webcams all over a house with girls inside naked. They loaded slowly just like jennicam but people paid $30/month just to see naked girls watch tv, eat junk food and on occasion rub their pussies.

> People would tune in on a Saturday night while they were folding sheets, and see her doing her laundry too, and felt a comrade in arms. She was a real person, famous for being herself. Reality TV had not yet made us cynical.
And you can watch women fold things on youtube today, 20 years later. Innovator.
>At times during the first couple of years of JenniCam, Ringley performed stripteases for the webcam.[16]
>Initially, the camera tended to be turned off during especially private moments, but eventually this custom was abandoned, and images were captured of Ringley engaging in sex.

How do we go back? 2016 sucks.
>>57130936
>Anyone here old enough to remember this?
Oh, yes. She was a nine-day wonder.
But not just Jenny. There were soon others.
My favorite was Wild Rose, but I suspect she got mixed up with drugs and her partner started to exploit her.

o-okay
Reminds me of pic related. Interesting documentary, worth a watch. The guy was ahead of his time. Pretty much invented YouTube 15 years too early, among other things.
>>57131140
its not just desire
women have a fundamental drive to seek out attention, and to avoid being alone for long episodes of time
men are different, and with the exception of attention whores like trump, men can last years without contact with humans
they need to have wonderful pupper as a companion though
>>57131114
So... Are these videos around somewhere? Friend wants to know.

why does clicking on this link directly from this post opens but immediately closes the tab but copy pasting it in a new tab works fine?
Whats causing this?
Using Opera.
Why does she need the heimlich maneuver at 1:29 am?
Yes. When the internet was cool. Before it turned into Facebook faggotry.
there was that creepy korean girl that used to stream all the time /x/ was all over her
>>57131055
I cum buckets at the thought of a QT NSA girl having to monitor my webcam.
>>57135562
Chipchan? She was streaming for like 8 years or something. Looks like the cam went down last month though.
>>57131659
Big brother didn't happen until 1999. Even Survivor didn't debut until 1997.
>>57131807
Back then, all the spastic jump cuts were because your bandwidth sucked.
>>57135625
is she dead?
>>57130936
She had a better cam 17 years ago than I do now
>>57135627
Real World was the setup for both those shows
I am old enough that I should remember Ringley, but honestly the world was much smaller back then and this kind of stuff just wasn't covered as widely as you might think.
>>57135838
seriously, i thought justin from jtv was the first
maybe he was just the first to turn it into a platform
>>57130936
>turned on a webcam that sat on top of the computer in her college dorm room. In that simple act, writes Aleks Krotoski, she changed the modern world
Wow, that's literally revolutionary, just sitting in front of a fucking camera, it' just like wow, you go girl! How come no one ever thought of that?
Does the Big Black Cock network has nothing else but vapid whores to report about?
>>57130936
LOL typical attention seeking Leo
>>57135859
a lot of times the true pioneers fade into obscurity, and only the people afterwards that had the brains (or just luck) became that popular ones.
>>57135920
you're missing the point here, what seems obviously today was not thought of at all back then.
Here is a question for you, why didn't you invent snapchat ? that sees really fucking obvious too
>>57135978

I'm not a normieshitter.

False. That was in 1998.
But it's forgivable, you where only 3 at the time.
