👉 "FordNet!" I heard.
"Oh, no! That sounds like a bad joke for a funny man." So, what's this? A joke about FordNet? Actually, folks, FordNet is not just any car net. It's the name of an obscure American software company that specializes in providing internet-connected cars. The term comes from the acronym "FordNet," which stands for "Futuristic Net for Internet Vehicles." Now, you might be thinking to yourself: "Wait a minute, what is this? A software company with no connection to anything?" Yes, you're right! FordNet was created in 1983 by a group of enthusiasts who wanted to bring the joys and benefits of internet-connected cars into everyday life. The goal was to create a car that could communicate with other vehicles over the Internet. So, it's a little like a car that can talk on its own, but not necessarily about itself. It has the ability to connect with other cars, share information, and even send messages directly from your phone. But, don't worry, folks, because this technology is still in its infancy, and there are many more cars out there waiting for their chance to join the network. Now that you've seen what FordNet is all about, let's get back to our main point: how do you like it when something comes right out of nowhere?
