Hello! I was just enjoying a warm beverage right here beside this crackling fire, you know, holiday stuff to celebrate the season. National Geographic, and I come bearing gifts.

Watch the first two episodes of "Valley of the Boom" for free on demand and on the Nat Geo TV app now. It follows the pioneers of the internet boom in the mid-90s and tells the insanely true story of how the web was born. Would you like to take a look?

It was the dawn of the internet, and all across the land, the startups were starting, all in high demand. Netscape, the browser, wanted access for all, but Microsoft differed and started a broad social network some said would make tons of cash. But the globe didn't know just how hard they would crash.

Pixelon was genius, or so it would seem. They promised to give us live video stream. You see, money was flowing, and so was the booze, and everyone thought there was nothing to lose.

It doesn't end well, but don't take it from me; I'm just the guy who knows everything. Watch, and you'll see. Netscape, the Globe, and Pixelon spawned the Google's, the Facebook's, YouTube's, and beyond.

So enjoy our free gift from the Nat Geo brand: watch "Valley of the Boom," 2 episodes on demand now. Wasn't that nice? You know, I love a good cozy story, which reminds me, it's getting chilly in here.

That's better; just add a little startup kindling. Now that fire's 90s hot! Boo yeah!
