Morgan Webb before Xplay. In this nostalgic dive into tech history, we're reflecting on two iconic YouTube videos featuring Morgan Webb, showcasing her early days on The Screen Savers.

Morgan Webb, The Screen Savers 2002 old set​

The first video gives us a glimpse of Morgan Webb during her time on The Screen Savers in 2002. It features her engaging with viewers and discussing tech topics like free firewalls and home décor technology. The episode includes practical tips on using applications to design floor plans and demonstrates how to monitor CPU usage on a Windows computer effectively. Here are some highlights:

• Tech Tips: Morgan shares advice on using tools like Tiny Personal Firewall and AVG for enhancing home tech setups.
• Home Design: Discusses an app that allows viewers to visualize their home layouts, emphasizing user-friendly interfaces.
• Interactive Element: She invites audience engagement by providing her email for feedback on the application discussed, showcasing a familiar hands-on approach typical of The Screen Savers. The charm of this segment lies in its blend of light-heartedness with genuine technical insight, emphasized by an affectionate rapport with the audience, making tech feel accessible to everyone .

  Why Martin Sargent isn't allowed to host the Screen Savers​

  The second video humorously dissects why Martin Sargent was "fired" from hosting duties on The Screen Savers. In this comedic recounting, Martin reflects on some of the questionable advice he dispensed on air, including using a hot glue gun to fix a laptop keyboard—a solution far from practical!
• Comedy in Technology: This segment is a blend of humor and tech, where Martin takes accountability for providing hilariously bad advice over the years.
• Viewer Engagement: He recounts past calls from viewers and reminiscences about how his tongue-in-cheek suggestions often left viewers more confused than helped.
• Legacy of Laughter: Martin's self-deprecating humor serves to underline the importance of reliable advice in tech, while also creating a memorable viewing experience. The video not only entertains but also reminds watchers of the lighter side of tech advice, resonating well in a community that enjoys both informative and funny content . As we revisit this golden era of tech TV, it’s clear that Morgan Webb and her colleagues created an engaging platform that combined technology, education, and entertainment.
