sure..

i think the entire library of congress archives is on line.. there's arguably access to exponentially more information that is 'pre internet' on the internet now than there was before the internet. 

you can browse and search all kinds of archives of things that are now digitized and free.  

there's millions

wait.

does 'out there' mean internet or in real life.

i assume 'out there' just meant, in general.. irl. 

ie. libraries and shit.

in which case. ??? 

if 'out there' means internet. 

then the answer is obviously because pre-internet media was created before the internet

oh.. yeah.. uhm.. good point. the truth is out there. 

uh the internet is great mang

like for coding/DSP stuff there is a lot of info although musicdsp is kinda not updated much it seems? Like if you can't grasp some coding/math concept there's like 50 more articles about it meanwhile in like 2002 there was probably /some/ information but nothing user-friendly I don't think? All I had for reference was this fucker

oh and maybe one more book at the library. Like TO DATE probably one coding book at the library (2 if HTML counts)

I wonder what it's like being a librarian today anyway. Like do you get cool kids actually interested in learning things or just kids doing a report who don't want to be there. Or not even that, just hobos and perverts using the library computers

oh also freaking... if not for internet there wouldn't be afx soundcloud trax, no elseq probably... internet makes it so much easier to distribute shit. I still want to do a generative album sometime (i mean distribute it as an .exe or something) but there's no way afaik yet to obscure ReaJS code. But still even just the expectations of what CDs dictate the length/structure of an album should be which bandcamp nullifies to some extent?? Actually surprised Eno hasn't jumped on bandcamp, I'd think he has a lot of half-hour/hour tracks (like reflections but oldshit) lying around which would be hard to pitch as a CD? (maybe)

So thread title could be "post ur favorite pre-Aug 1989 stuff" and basically mean the same

Nice, but looks finnish to me, not soviet

I had it dloaded from pre-youtube internet and I think it was Turkish?

It's Estonian

That explains the soviet feel

Is OP asking why there isn't more pre-internet media digitized? Whoever said that most media has been created post 90's has a good point.

Yeah, it's Estonian. "Kanahakkliha" is chicken minced meat. In Finnish it would be "kanajauheliha". In the end it mentions a sovkhoz which were state owned farms in the Soviet Union.

I think OP is asking... why is there so little pre-internet stuff on the internet? Cuz like, once you find it on the internet- even if it was originally from 1930- it's still on the internet, so it's not pre-internet anymore. So basically OP is maybe asking: "How do I use a web browser to look at things, without internet, that aren't on a computer monitor or mobile device?"

lol

lol

For the OP:

Really there is ton of old stuff on the internets. People who are fond of old stuff or just care for the preservance (special kudos to them) are mostly doing it for free while they have the means to do it.

But there is really so much! Just pick a field actually
