Oh, online gaming dates way further back than most people would suspect. The very first M.U.D., or multi-user dungeon used an internal network to support online play, and that was in 1978. A couple of years later, it became connected to the ARPANet (experimental Internet before the official switchover to TCP/IP on January 1, 1983) in 1980. So, yeah. And the first modems date back to multiplexers used by news wire services starting c. the mid 1920s.

Sorry for the nerdy tangential rant. It's like the old wisdom goes, though: you have to look back at where you've been to see how you got to now and where it might lead in the future. Not that I profess myself to be a deep thinker or anything by any stretch of the imagination.
