Curiously, I've *never* used one of these modems.
By 1986 I was a post grad at the UniMelb Comp Sci. The 1st place in Oz to have internet (to the US) over TCP/IP - just like today. And I've never worked anywhere that hasn't had it, or until post 2000, that cared what you did on the work Internet

I'm back on campus at Unimelb for the first time in several years today.
It's fascinating to me how it has simultaneously changed so much and barely at all in the seven years since I worked here.

When I first started as an UnderGrad at UniMelb in 1995, Psychology was in the Arts faculty. And the freaks like Peterson and Pinker prospered and are in no way ‘scientists’
My newest Presidential Column for @psychscience.bsky.social addresses the issue of psychologists' dominant use of convenience samples for their research. Can our science stop being WEIRD if we don't consider how we sample? www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...
Is It Too Convenient to Stay WEIRD?
