“You've Got Mail” is playing on TV and it makes me laugh because of the heavy integration of AOL and chatrooms. At the time that movie was released, relationships that came out of meetings in chatrooms were not the stuff of social acceptance. Certainly nowhere near as accepted as all the dating sites online today.
What’s more amusing are the sequences where the computers access the internet through a dial-up connection. I remember the high occasion when my family got a computer and then the slow process of connecting to the internet. Thank goodness for fast cable internet these days.
