It is 1980 and the web was not invented, but the Bulletin Board System (BBS) flourished. They served the same function of a website, email, file transfer, graphic all in text. Most were served by a single phone line and there was no communication among the BBS.

I found a 300 baud modem a little slow and felt the need to upgrade soon. Ancient history.
