Old school product placement in Old School. It looks like Seinfelds kitchen or an episode of Friends.

If they were anything like the N64s in Mcdonalds, those keyboards and mice are beyond filthy.

Right?! I did see individual pay phones [edit: at each table] at a Wendy’s off I-70 in Wyoming mid-90s. Guessing for truck drivers to call home or ahead in the middle of nowhere and grabbing a bite to eat.

I saw this in NY in the burger king in times square. whenever you bought a combo or certain amount in your ticket you will get a barcode and with that you will get access to a computer with “internet”

This image unlocked the memory that there were actual businesses opened in the 90s JUST to access internet on computers.

Wow, times have changed.

I don’t know… In the last six months or so I no longer like Burger King. I don’t know what it is… But I don’t think there is good as it used to be.

Are you sure it wasn't a McDonalds' because I do remember their being one of those there but no burger king. I was very fond of the king and hung out in times square fairly often at the arcades back then. I feel like I would have known.

For a while not that long ago Mcdonalds had touchscreen game things on the table. Those were disgusting. I can't imagine how gross a keyboard would get.

I dont know where this is, but I do not recall any Burger Kings with internet access in the 1990s in the DC area.

Not much you could have done on the internet back then. Text sites only, pictures, barely any video and had to download it. It’s almost uncanny to think the internet is about 30-ish years old in the hands of consumers, and went from tech novelty to transforming our way of life completely.

I think AI is gonna be the same thing 30 years from now. It is currently in the novelty stage for the consumer side with more professional uses being prominent. It won’t be long until AI does many practical everyday things better than us, and it starts becoming part of your everyday life, for example if self driving becomes 99.999% better than a human in all situations. Traffic will look like a sci fi ballet you see in movies doing crazy shit by all by itself and interconnected, knowing where every other car is going and plotting the best route for each car. You could have AI only driving areas and mixed areas if you wanna drive yourself once in a while. Highways might turn into AI driving only except for maybe emergency vehicles and law enforcement.

Also no more greasy keyboards.

I remember owning a book around this time that listed 100 kid-friendly and “cool” websites to visit lol. Literally a printed book full of web addresses with little descriptions.

The internet of this era was awesome — at least as a kid, it was geared towards learning versus just buying crap. A couple years later, we were all writing everything on live journal and making “penpals” with people all over the world..it was seriously magical. I’m skipping some of the dark stuff that I sought out on purpose (a/s/l ??) while way too young, but overall it was just like having all the encyclopedias open at once.

i’m sure the McDonalds didn’t have computers with internet. Mcdonald’s had a very flashy 4 or 5 story building. I was just a boy from Texas going around NYC and looking for free or cheap internet to send emails back home.

side story. I remember a guy buying big fries and chocolate sundae and dunking the fries in the sundae, he was really happy.

I was thinking ppl are crazy here.
