In today's age where connectivity is measured by the millisecond, millions of teenagers world over have no idea what the Windows 95 experience is.

So the Fine Brothers — makers of the hugely popular Teens React To series on YouTube — decided to do just that: Get Teens to react to Windows 95 as the operating system turned 20.

From bemusement to awe and wonder, 21st century teens show quite the range of reactions when asked to figure out how to operate Microsoft's decades old OS.

Sample these:

The video is hilarious, for obvious reasons, and has already racked up a million views.

Microsoft released Windows 95 on August 24, 1995. It marked the first OS offering 32-bit multi-tasking support and most importantly, was also the first OS to support Internet connectivity right out-of-the-box, making it significantly easier to get online.
