Maybe think of me once and awhile... I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati

I have always tried to imagine what the digital noise in my head LOOKS like - the feeling that on the other side of the one's and the zero's there is a place - a society - rules, maybe it's a reference to seminal sci-fi films and books, maybe it's a call back to Flatlander?

Connecting...

Prodigy Communications Corporation was an online service that operated from 1984 to 2001 that offered its subscribers access to a broad range of networked services. Prodigy grew and evolved to become one of the major internet service providers of the '90s. The company claimed it was the first consumer online service, citing its graphical user interface and basic architecture as differentiation from CompuServe, which started in 1979 and used a command-line interface. By '94, Prodigy was the first of early dial-up services to offer full access to the web and to offer web page hosting to its members. Two years later, they retooled as a true ISP, making its main offering internet access branded as Prodigy Internet.

Long before the proliferation of broadband internet and connected smartphones, most people got their internet fix through dial-up services under the guise of curated online communities. Kids today will never know the terrible sound of a dial-modem as it audibly connected with the service or the painfully slow connection speeds. You've come a long way, baby...
