Lo más extraño es que nunca vi pasar al otro lado de la ventana algún Dinosaurio 🦕 de esa lejana era. 🤔 😁 😯

Reading some comments, I see some people don't know that the noise at the end is data you could record in a tape and taken to your computer so basically they were sharing software using the TV, that was amazing for its time.

Just think that pretty host has got to be in her 60's or 70's now. Sad women aren't as pretty as that these days.

"How do you connect the computer to the telephone?"
"Its quite simple really"
Proceeds to go through 14 different steps. Unplug this jack, plug it in here, plug this other phone jack in here, flip this switch, turn this on, flip another switch, plug that in, etc. etc. etc.

Every single article about the internet: The first internet message was in 1969, but was made publicly available in 1991.
Every single article about modems: The first computer modem for public use was in 1978
I'm confused.
