But do you know what this is?

An old, old dial up modem.
C’mon… lol
I think we’ve reached the point in our lives where you are the oldest thing I don’t understand!

I think that was called an acoustic coupler if I remember correctly.

Tom, you're both old enough to remember and old enough to not remember

300mpbs, so the average webpage would take about a week to load today.

I had an acoustic coupler when I was a kid big into computers back then

My first computer back in 1981 was a Tandy (Radio Shack) TRS-80 (the trash-80) with a tape drive and 300baud modem

My first computer back in 1974 was a IBM 360/30.
