Internet Early Days

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. 
A hand written letter can suggest some emotion.
Telegrams, no clue.
Singing Telegrams not much... 
♫ Your sister Rose is dead
                                                                 She fell and broke her head
                                                                 Last Monday morning
                                                                 Getting out of bed
With the telephone people had to use and decipher voice inflections for emotions.
But the ARPANET was worse than telegrams because of decorum and acceptable forms.
However when the hoi polloi got their grubby paws on the internet shit changed.
Human people composing greetings, insults, innuendos, threats, and seductions, needed more.

Voila...

 


 Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose.
