“Community Memory was the first public computerized bulletin board system.

While initially conceived as an information and resource sharing network linking a variety of counter-cultural economic, educational, and social organizations with each other and the public, Community Memory was soon generalized to be an information flea market. Once the system became available, the users demonstrated that it was a general communications medium that could be used for art, literature, journalism, commerce, and social chatter.”

Sounds boring to us.

Some nerds using a Community Memory terminal at a record store, probably in California or some shit.

An example of the slowly arriving, useless, and incomprehensible information that they are pretending to be amped about in the photo above.
