Not all history is ancient. In the early adoption of the world wide web by the masses, internet cafes and cyberstations, like the one pictured here, were popular places to flock for a quick coffee and email check. Now that we’re no longer tied to desks and hardwired internet connections, these locations are now relics of the past, even though “the past” was only 15 years ago.
Do you recall where this “cyberstation” is? Please feel free to share a fond memory as well!
Congratulations to reader K. Berst for correctly identifying the location of the cyberstation! With widespread wifi access and personal devices that connect to the Internet, we don’t bother to advertise cyberstations anymore…
I remember this cyberstation in the lower level of Horizon Books! Now it seems like eons ago, both in times and in technology!
Ha! I know, right? Fun to think about all the hoops we used to jump through to get online. That noise the modem would make while dialing up? Yuck!
