Someday DS3 Ethernet Will Be The Old Fashioned Way

I remember learning about e-mail when I was traveling in Europe way back in the 1990′s. People I met on my travels gave me their e-mail address so I could contact them when I got back home. I thanked them but told them I did not have an e-mail address and I did not even have a computer. I remembered this when I was reading about how fast an internet connection DS3 ethernet is, 45 Mbps to be precise.

When I returned home, I decided I wanted to be on cyberspace. I was behind the times and it was time to change all that. I went to my local appliance and pretended to know what the computer sales guy was talking about. As long as I can send e-mail with it I told him I would buy it. Of course you can and then you can surf the web.

I bought one of those monitors the size of medium sized televisions. It weighed about 150lbs. And it cost more than my computer! But that was all right as long as I could send e-mail. Do you remember being fascinated with being able to send a message to someone across the world for free!

My friend explained I needed an ISP. I bought a Hewlett Packard, I told him. Should I take it back and get an ISP? No he said ISP is an internet service provider. He gave me a number to call for the company he was using. The guy actually came to my home to set up my online service.

Of course it was dial-up service. I knew of nothing else. I learned I could not use my telephone when I was online. He told me that I might lose my connection if someone called me while I was online. Small price to pay for technology that allowed me to send messages around the world I figured.

After logging in he showed me how to send messages via email. If I did not have someone there showing me what to do, I may never have learned how to use e-mail. Well, I probably would have learned eventually. But back then I was sure grateful to have someone walk me step by step.

Once on my own I was surfing the internet. Or should I say walking slowly along the internet highway. Websites took so long to download that I figured walking to the library was a quicker way to find information. Listening to music online and watching video online was only a dream.

If you remember the day when your computer modem rang out that unique indescribable squeal as you connected to the internet, then you remember clicking onto a website and then going out and run some errands and coming back to a page half way loaded onto your monitor screen. And you remember wondering if the internet was really worth the time and effort. And you probably remember wondering if there would ever be a faster way to use the internet. Now there is ds3 ethernet and the OCx’s.
