  @theswansjr Internet isn't a good example. It's like saying ohhh we can see because there is light, name something that's replaced light. You should ask about AOL, Netscape, napster type ****. Those were the Bitcoins of internet

  Remember growing up, pre internet. You only interacted with bad people by accident or bad decisions The internet added the bad people to your kids bedrooms, your phone, and your mind. I miss the AOL dialup format of the internet.

  @spencedyor We also didn’t pay $1400 for our phone or $200/mo for subscriptions to apps and streaming services or $8 lattes or ever heard of avocado toast. Most of us grew up without a/c in our house or our car. I didn’t have a computer in my house until I was 15. Internet didn’t exist til I paid $15/month for dialup AOL Absolutely never in my life considered having a coffee or cake pop or crumble cookie delivered to me. No smart watch. One color TV in the house and a pair of vice grips to switch the channel to 3 so I could watch a video on my VCR or play Nintendo. Quit you’re freakin bitching and live like the 1980s and you’d be absolutely rich

  There was an Internet before the internet. My parents bought an IBM PS1 from sears as our first modern computer when I was in elementary school. It came with Prodigy which was like a big BBS and a free trial of Compuserve, which I think was the predecessor to AOL, both ran on dial up. I liked compuserve better because it had chat rooms but it had some heinous bill by the minute rate once you exhausted the free trial. At 8 years old the only thing that occurred to me to do with this technology was to relentlessly and nonsensically troll the chat rooms until I ultimately got banned from the entire platform. Well, a month later my mom gets a $200 bill from compuserve (I blew well past the free trial) and she calls them irate. Apparently in this call she was told I ran up the charges and btw I was also banned. She couldn’t believe this so I guess she asked why I was banned and the rep told her I was spamming their chat rooms saying “I like big breasted women” which was apparently against their terms of service and they would not be refunding anything given my behaviour. Got home from 3rd grade that day to get quite an ear full about this. But I guess I get bonus points for being banned from the internet before there even was an internet. I still like big breasted women tho you can’t hold me down.

  @ThisOldTech2 As a computer user since '94, I'm trying to figure out why I never got a browser in a box. of course, I did access the Web through AOL at the beginning. 🤔

  @TommyO1947 And every body posted pictures on face book too So who is to blame, the consumer. They kept posting stuff on the lives, and leaving updates at default. Man followed right off the pier. AOL for a while all were using it. Then the discovery of FTP lmao No more chatting in public, we built are own room and games too. And not one American can go without that comm unit for a week All seem naked without, there is a problem. Powerless over that or the next follower post. GodRocks Crazy

  @JuicySteen there was a strong appetite by some at AOL Time Warner to get them off the air despite being their highest rated show. It would have depended on if they were able to hang on until Spike opened up.
