The Robot: The Robot is a Class M-3 Model B9, General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot, which had no given name. Although a machine endowed with superhuman strength and futuristic weaponry, he often displayed human characteristics such as laughter, sadness, and mockery as well as singing and playing the guitar. The Robot was performed by Bob May in a prop costume built by Bob Stewart. The voice was dubbed by Dick Tufeld, who was also the series' narrator. The Robot was designed by Robert Kinoshita, whose other cybernetic claim to fame is as the designer of Forbidden Planet's Robby the Robot. Robby appears in LIS #20 "War of the Robots", and the first episode of season three; "Condemned of Space".
We used 9600 baud terminals connected to a mainframe in the 1970's and19.2K terminals in the early 1980's when I worked at a company that made computer terminals.
The modem I used at home in the early 1980's was 150 / 300 baud.
I have no idea what the internet connection was but emails were sent in batches so you had to wait a hour of so for a response.
During the first two years of college we used punched cards to program in FORTRAN. One day a few years ago at Fry's I saw a box labelled FOTRAN for Visual Studio and thought about buying it.
In the last two years of college we used internet terminals when it was call DARPNET or ARPANET.
My first home computer was a TRS-80.
I started using the internet around 1978 when I was in college. We had super fast 9600 baud terminals back then and about a dozen Universities were connected to the internet at that time.
After graduation I had Compuserve which if I remember right it costs ten dollars a month plus additional time while online. It the 90's AOL bought Compuserve and I switched over to Netscape for email.
During most of the 80's I used dial up bulletin boards for games and discussion boards.
