64 kbps. That's how fast our Internet was in 1995. The early web looked so much different than it does today, and your patience was seriously tested every time you downloaded something. Back then, not everyone had access to the World Wide Web. We didn't have Wi-Fi. We didn't even have broadband. We just had dial-up. We only had Internet cafes.

The @ Cafe was one of NYC's first cybercafes. Though it turned out to be short-lived, "its story shows what it felt like when the Internet was first bubbling into the public consciousness."

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable.
