#84 - The History of America Online (AOL)

#84 - The History of America Online (AOL)

Thank you for tuning in!  On today's episode we are taking a trip back to the 80s/90s to learn about the history of America Online (later AOL).  America Online was the brainchild of Steve Case, a man who knew that this internet "stuff" was going to get big and he wanted to build community via the internet.  You'll learn about what led up to America Online's development, the company's surge to the top of the technology field, and it's ultimate crash and burn.  AOL was the first exposure my sister and I had to the internet so it seems only fitting to do a show all about it!

Thank you to everyone who reminisced with me about your old AOL screen names!
