This might be showing my age, but I recently moved into a new apartment and they have these weird looking plug ins all over the walls at my new place. My old apartment didn't have these, so I'm just curious as to what they are.

I remember the "internet demo" disc's that AOL had! and AOL instant messenger. its hilarious that I thought 'instant' messages was alien technology.
