Depends, I prefer 1980s computers like the C64 those are pretty cool. Stuff in the 60s were like type writers than could connect using old ass acoustic coupler modems running 300 Baud (300 bits per second)
The only downside is that like dial-up you couldn't really make phone calls while you were typing, because the phone lines would be just be packed with a constant tone and other digital noises. Another thing with these acoustic couplers is if you talk into them your voice could actually be interpreted as like text or random characters cause everything is assigned a specific frequency.Yeah it's wild. Not even a screen.
A keyboard and a printer.

It is interesting how this works because it in essence it's just a single tone and any frequency modulations like through a key press is interpreted by the modem on the other end as data, it wasn't until the advent of DSL where we had stopped transmitting data through sound and gave it's own separate frequency band.
