like a computer modem, I’m not that simple to understand. my mental speed isn’t constant and perhaps I’m not always that dependable. However, I am always there for you.
“What a slut.” “She’s ugly anyways, dont stand too close,” I switch the modem off and fall back onto my bed, covering my head with a pillow to muffle the sounds vibrating my chest.These people, strangers, dont know me. How can the be so mean? I roll over onto my side wondering if maybe someone cared.

The object that keeps my Internet going. I would die if anything happened to this wonderful machine.

“Why is it broken?” She cried in frustration. The power lines that charged the modem were not working, but she was desperate for her internet and phone.

internet computer everything I see is binary code and I am afraid of the robots who will come and destroy us: not because they are evil, but because we throw away our machines as soon as they stop working. do we do that with people too? people we love? what is wrong with us, when we dont give a fuck about anything anymore.

okay so i don’t really know what a modem is and i have to write a story i mean modem who uses that word except when talking about computers… I think. Well here’s the thing I don’t want to talk about computers.
asah
the modem starts the computer, no– it is the other way around. the computer starts the modem; without the computer the modem does not work; Lord God I hope that one human can work without another human because I am so very scared that if I turn him off then I’ll go dark, too. at the same time what if your computer is defective and it is infecting the modem with a virus. or do viruses only exist within modems in the first place.

modems… don’t know much about them… they have to do with computers.. which i don’t know much about either. I can say that technology has evolved so much since the last century… who knew.. know we can see people on the other side of the world without even leaving our home..
Modem? What’s a modem. I look into my dictionary and I see a definition within a definition. A modem … Im so confused but I write about it anyway. I write about this word…the meaning of which I do not know. I reread my paragraph. and i laugh. haha….modem..what is it …really?
Maritza
weird soft high legit i dont know what im writing at all this is weird i didnt even read the word to be honest. wow this time is going alot faster than i thought i would. um yeah i think thatyss it

I used to have a modem that was really loud. Every time we went on the internet it would be like a concert in our computer room, especially if we were using it to watch glowstick videos. I once had the same glowstick for a year. By the end it didn’t even glow and I was just the guy with the plastic sticks at concerts. That’s not why no one liked me but I can’t imagine it helped.

I can’t catch my breath for all these colors and sounds. A row of green lights that blink in some seemingly random pattern, the static, are you dialing me? Dialing out in to space, dialing Saturn, dialing in to wires.
I am modern. Who is modern? What is modern? Is it a feeling? A state of mind? A trend? What you see in the windows? Is it feeling young and mindful, believing in such. What is modern? Am I modern? Do I want to be?

the old computer modem buzzed and beeped through the phone line. we couldn’t believe we found one that worked. since wireless had gone down, we had to figure something out. it was the only way to find the information we were looking for. so we waited until it went through. and waited and waited. at least, the page loaded. it was just what we needed. the piece we’d been missing. we breathed a sigh of relief.
Connection. Translation. Decoding. Information Stop over. Gateway to other digital brains built from wires and chips. The world at displayed on a screen. Can’t touch it through this window. Only see it.
Modem. A system of technology. What exactly is it? I’m not sure. I know that this is connected to Internet usage and is necessary. Modem, what may you be? Maybe I can write something better if I just knew what you were.

makes me think of internet, makes me think of my mom working on the computer all day talking on the phone all the time, and my dad too both of them working on the computer all day taking up time all day long with staring at computer screens at date that doesn’t make any sense to me I can’t even really understand what it is they do
Emily Marsh
rushing rotating
felt in my hand as thick as honey
the whirr of connection
of memory and humanity
where were you when i stumbled upon this masterpiece
in tandem with my heart
a beat to the key of the universe
i am rushing rotating
right along with it
reach your hand forward
press keys and lift hearts in tune
to the sound of warm electric connectivity
we are one
it sings
we are one
we are one
in a rush and a whirr
and together we are overheating our laps
to feel the pulse to feel the cry
we are one

modem. doesn’t that have something to do with internet connection? what would i do without internet… ohmygosh i would die without the chance to play tetris… LOL what’s wrong with me. i have an addiction to tetris. :/ awkward. i’m good at it though :D like i finished marathon on the iphone. :o
And while the modem was screeching and chirping in its little internet language she was sitting there horrified at what she saw on the screen, the months and months of messages that spelled out as surely as a postcard, as surely as block letters on a brick hurled through a window, “I’m having an affair.”

“Modem?” she repeated, her face quirking into a frown. “You mean like a computer modem?”
“You’re such a freakin’ Luddite,” he replied with a laugh.

Modern is perfect, Modern is now, Modern is the combination of the wisdom of yesterday with the fun of today. Modern is modern, vanguardism, actuality, creativity.

I love modem. It’s a great word. If you don’t get sentimental when you hear/say that word, something’s wrong with you…haha/
the modem in my head is sinking

My computer was working fine until one day it decided to die. My aunt sally said it was the modem, and that it wasn’t dead there were bug sacks in it. So we took it to the spiders house so he could fix my “web”.

I don’t know what this means.
I should learn about the word.
It could help me score high on my SATs.
Someday.
Maybe.

a modem is a thing in a computer. this project is ficking hard to write, because i dont really know about what a modem is…. what else could it be? it would be neat if it was huge, because then you could really see it and maybe I would remember what it was. like, really big, a statue.
Clarissa Gilbert
Remember the days of dial up modems? When you only had 4 hours continuous (debatable!) and slow internet access before you had to reconnect? These days we complain if a single page times out and fails to load.
Dee
the modem was down today
my dad was angry
what the hell
what were we thinking going with verizon fios
even our tv’s suck
ugh dad
just cause you wanted to save $10 a month
whatever
i’ll just use my iPhone 4G.

Telephones are excellent modems.
Computers are excellent modems.
Im an excellent modem.
There’s nothing worse than not knowing exactly what the function of an object is. Especially modem. I know it has to do with a computer but I couldn’t tell you the exact definition. In fact, I think if you had a gun to my head and asked me what a modem does, I really couldn’t tell you.
We used to have a modem at home. I thought it worked pretty nice. It was small, black, with little green lights. When I was small, I’d turn the thing on, with the computer, and I’d watch the lights flash orange, then flash green, then solid green. This would be accompanied by the loud sound of my computer turning on.

It became her mortal enemy. The link between her and the world which punished her. Emails for lawyers bearing bad news then more bad news news. She picked up her coat and her handbag and kicked the modem out if it socket before she went walking the streets.
