The best thing I remember from the "dial up days" is that once a week the company AOL would mail everyone in America a free, shiny miniature Frisbee. They wouldn't fly very well, but were still fun to toss around.
I got pretty good guessing the connection speed by the sounds in the last half of the handshake. I'd hear the slow-speed pattern and just cancel and try another server.
Telecommunication Engineers indeed pulled a lot of wizardry back in the days of analog phone lines. And all wizardry, even to today, stands upon the works of Claude Shannon.
I did notice that your modem sounds seemed to drag on a bit longer in the handshake than I remember. I used one of the late 56ks though. I'm not entirely sure if I remember the sound accurately though. I could be remembering the one shared most often on the net?
After listening to a lot of different ones ranging from 9600 to 56K I noticed they're all much longer than I remember. You might be misremembering, after all, memory isn't 100% reliable -- exactly how reliable is it? Don't remember.
Wi-Fi looks like this: Access Point: Hey, my network name is this, I support this stuff, you can connect to me (about 10 times per second) Phone: Hey My Network, even though we're not using WEP anymore, am I like, authentic, in your opinion? Access Point: Yes even though this is totally a holdover from WEP, you are totally authentic. Phone: Cool. Here's what I'm capable of doing technically... can I associate with you? Access Point: Yeah, we're compatible, so you can associate me with me!
Yes I do remember those sounds, but they don't trigger nostalgia, they trigger frustration. Frustration from so much time lost from something being 95% downloaded and then someone picking up the phone and losing internet connection. AARGH!!!
I'm 24 and when I was a kid my grandma had dial up. I remember that annoying noise and how long it took for things to load. I remember my grandma would tell us to stay off the Internet if she was expecting a call because you couldn't be on the Internet and the phone at the same time.
Dude, you're funny! As a side-note... the online content and UX/UI methodologies--that everyone currently takes for granted--had its origins during the 56k/128k dial-up era... a time when rebels and outcasts were tasked with created engaging experiences, while working within the brutal limitations of data compression... a time when the idea of "best practices" was non-existent and rules were meant to be broken... ah, the good 'ol days. Our new generation of developers have no idea how easy they have it. But I digress... hoping that your solo move works out!
Oh man. It’s like bloatware! It used to matter how much physical memory your program occupied, but with memory being so cheap we’ve basically created memory-guzzling SUVs instead of lean economy programs.
Do you do any sound mastering for your vocals? I dont think that you do, maybe you could start. just use some preset for mix and mastering, that will make your vids so much more profesional :D
If you just want to see the result, send me your vocal track and Ill mix and master it, contact me at: 01010000 01100001 01110110 01100101 01101100 01110011 01000000 01000011 01101111 01101110 01100011 01101111 01110010 01100100 01110011 00101110 01101100 01110110

Hey Trace!! So happy I got to help with this incredible video 😊 keep it up my friend!
Thanks Keegannnnnn!!!!!!!!

Interesting! I wonder if you actually had good insight into that… hmm. We should run a small study
Same!!
When I was young I literally thought that you could install the internet on your computer with those AOL discs. 😅
I can totally see why ! They were everywhere.
Me too lol
@@maneeshd3 You actually CAN make a game on Powerpoint, especially for a quiz or a flash parody-style OS.

Never had dial up, as I’m still a teen, but it’s still super interesting how much stuff is actually going on!

Very underrated channel. Here's to your inevitable growth!
Thank you for the video, I haven't seen a metaphor for the handshake before. This video is great.
Thanks!
Wow! Thanks for this! I was curious about this, but forgot it because of modern times.
Love you Trace!!! ❤️❤️❤️
💕🎉🤗
The staging of the modems' handshake was perfect *chef kiss hand*
*slight bow and nod*
Those modems are super polite.
It was a different time
Man this makes me feel old... (nice retro intro btw)

"Don't do anything that I wouldn't do". Classic.... @4:22
Great video Trace! Please do more on the evolution of technology!
Double comments = double thank yous!
trace, let's make weird sounds together in unholy matrimony
I was really hoping the wifi was going to be basically spinning around having little bursts of conversation fragments with multiple people 😁
Would you ever consider doing your own podcast? TH-cam is great and all, but I looove me some podcasts
I reaaaaally want to make one. Really.
It's old home week!!!! I miss that sound, but I miss dial tones too!!

Exactly Trace. Let's bring back the 56k modem... 12fps video... and blink tags!
I loved your little handshake skits!
Thank you! I was like… this is weird. Do it? Yeah. Do it.
I’m glad it worked out 💪
if you remember hearing this sound in real life you need an eye cream lol
What!? I was wondering why dial up made that noise just yesterday! Very odd, but super cool to have that answered.
My pleasure!!! It was such a weird itch in my brain. It feels so good to have that out of there.
Do you do any sound mastering for your vocals? I dont think that you do, maybe you could start. just use some preset for mix and mastering, that will make your vids so much more profesional :D
I don’t do anything like that! Do you have a video that I could watch to learn more???
I think you can do that with adobe soundbooth, but personally I get the sound from mic -> open Pro Tools 12 -> apply EQ, Compressor and harmnics as well as Reverb -> export, then I''m good to go - sound is crisp and clear. I load it up back to premire pro and work with it. Unforunately this is an extra step you gotta do to have profesional sound, but it's damn worth it. If you dont know how to EQ and Compress, you can just buy a template for 30bucks. also: 065 108 115 111 032 121 111 117 032 099 097 110 032 103 101 116 032 099 114 097 099 107 101 100 032 118 101 114 115 105 111 110 032 111 110 108 105 110 101 044 032 106 117 115 116 032 100 111 110 116 032 100 111 119 110 108 111 097 100 032 102 114 111 109 032 107 105 099 107 097 115 115 032 116 111 114 114 101 110 116 115 032 111 114 032 116 104 101 112 105 114 097 116 101 098 097 121 044 032 099 117 115 032 085 083 065 032 116 114 097 099 107 115 032 116 104 101 109 046 032 072 111 119 101 118 101 114 032 073 032 099 097 110 032 117 112 108 111 097 100 032 105 116 032 111 110 032 103 111 111 103 108 101 032 100 114 105 118 101 032 119 047 032 112 097 115 115 119 111 114 100 032 040 112 114 111 032 116 111 111 108 115 032 049 050 032 097 110 100 032 112 108 117 103 105 110 032 098 117 110 100 108 101 041 032 105 116 032 119 105 108 108 032 103 101 116 032 121 111 117 032 103 111 105 110 103 046 032

YASSSSSS.
0:00 I'm old enough to remember modem sounds before the 56k modem that was the first for normal people.
It's not nostalgia that I feel when hearing that, with the number of times of getting disconnected when downloading stuff...
Great video! Thanks. 💜
Awesome, Trace! :)

good job with ur explanation.. thnks
The end part would sometimes go on for ages and fail to connect
Or the dial up sound for the tones of the number would happen and no handshake

i'm not sure if this is good or bad... ;)

You keep saying you quit your job, but we still see you on seeker plus. How long ago were these recorded? The youtube algorithm video for example.
