Them days of growing up, downloading mp3’s at 3.35 kb/s transfer speeds on dial up and going “Fuck yeah this is the high life, no getting better than this” lol.
@ParanoidPizzas, who has never had the joy of downloading a game with a 56k modem and receiving a phone call in the middle of it, has not had a real internet experience
Yeah this one hits home for me.
I remember the times when I was raging against slow loading because we were paying for the internet by the minute.
Now, this does not keep me from still raging against internet or websites taking a second too long. I got spoiled by progress.
I still remember my love/hate relationship with NetZero as a child. Wouldn’t have been able to surf as much without their free service. In the early days I was able to connect to the internet, then kill the process that was serving up that annoying ad banner along the bottom. I felt like a genius putting it to the man!
Almost a man. About 17.
