I was about to make a post about this but Im glad i googled "Steemit sending email in 1984" and found ur post first @stephenkendal ! hey im already following u! nice!
And wow that noise at the end, did my brain just receive an analog software file??! hahah the idea of sending a software program file over the air waves and using a microphone in front of your TV set connected to a fucking tape recorder hahahaha man the 80s computers were cool in their own way but u cant help but laugh!
I was more impressed by th color TV video transmission they recieved! Howd they do that??! Haha that was more hi tech than the email! I guss it was analog TV signal! or maybe digital by then in 1984 but Its funy how video was so terrible in the 80s and 90s digitally at least streaming and video had to be reborn digitally and work its way back up to being usable onlike because early computers didnt have the power to process live digital high quality video untill the Divx Mpeg4 codec came out for pirating movies!!!!! Remember Xvid??! People should thank video piracy for having netflix anyoutube today!
man i LOVE this old 80s computer stuff!i used to hate it because i am from the 80s or born in 1987 and retro stuff seemd old and stale and obsolete it took 30 years to make it cool again because our current compuetsare THAT much faster now!wwe had to get stuff fast enough to catch up with our own minds in a lt of ways
