Dial-Up Internet
We joshed finished talking about land line phones and look who shows up? When your dad wanted to send an “electronic mail” so you had to hang up the phone as they were using the same line.. but wait, didn’t the dial-up already disappear?
Although we just love the nostalgic sound of a dial-up modem connecting to the internet, how many of us would actually prefer dial-up over high-speed? That’s right. In today’s fast paced world there’s simply no substitute for high-speed internet. Still used by 3% of Americans, and some developing and third-world countries, while also not being cost-effective, a global digital future is inevitable and will lead to dial-up internet soon to be a relic of the past.
