I'm old enough to have used modems and never heard the long name before.

I'm old enough to have used modems and never heard the long name before.
- imwillofficial 4y agoI remember when the internet used to scream at me. I remember the proper name of a modem from my ancient CompTIA A+ classes I took as a teenager.
- Stratoscope 4y agoYou don't have to be a certain age to have used modems. You used one today to send that comment! Likely more than one. Radio, cable, and fiber don't carry bits. They carry waves - analog signals - just like an old fashioned copper phone line. They all need a modulator-demodulator to convert between bits and waves.
