I was wondering why I felt like I was back in the 90s last spring. I was a kid in the 90s and I realized that it was because I had to queue up to go into a shop so they could space people out inside. When I was at high school everything was about queueing. We had to queue to get lunch and to go to class and even to leave the building. The 90s was the birth place of domestic internet. They called it dial up. They adapted the modem from fax machines to allow computers to send digital pages to other computers around the world through the telephone lines. They even put a speaker on the modem so we could hear what it was doing. It would make lots of peeping sounds and then it would make a fizzing sound as it speeded up. It blew my mind that I could download interactive digital pages from around the world on a desk top computer. I loved to go to internet cafes and use the internet, I think they actually served coffee at the same time back then.
I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.
