Another Day With My PC

Have you ever wondered what happened to dial-up technology?

I was browsing through several Internet connection articles on PC World’s Web site when I thought of searching for some news or developments on dial-up access. To my surprise, the search led me to what probably is the archive section of the Web site.

The latest news on the list doesn’t even concern the United States. The report dealt with the pace that countries outside the US are embracing broadband Internet. It cited the declining costs of high speed Internet access and the willingness of the people to make the shift.

By now, the comparisons or analyses illustrated in the article may already be moot and academic. Everybody’s ditching their slow dial-up access for either a DSL or broadband cable connection. The advent of Wi-Fi has also convinced people to disconnect themselves from slow Internet access. Broadband is the new standard, and the demise of dial-up is obviously inevitable.
