  This device, specifically, is a acoustic coupler. They were an early form of the more general category of modems.

    I had a cassette tape drive for my Tandy computer, and if you put your computer cassette into a regular tape player it would sound just like modem noises.

    It’s funny how the same basic tech can have so many implementations.

  No they didn’t. Computers were just talking to each other. And we stole their mouths.

    They spoke only in screams and screetches. We muzzled them, making their screams shorter and faster, turning their anger to photons blasting each other in a single red eye connected to a glass tube.

  It’s perfect that this has 111 points and no comments. No one has anything to add, we’re all just like “yup.”
