There is this great documentary called “BBS the documentary” by Jason Scott. It’s an amazing documentary about computer bulliten boards and it’s 5 and 1/2 hours long with tons of extras.
For those who don’t remember BBSes: You would use a modem to dial up a computer system that had one or more modems and you could send messages (like email) and download files (lke ftp) and play online games.
Why was this amazing? There was no real internet, no email, and no web. This was the way you talked to people and transfered files, etc.
