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!
My kids will never know the pain of being denied internet access because I’m waiting for a phone call.
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.
I remember downloading a song on P2P downloaders taking hours or sometimes even a whole day. Now I can download a Blu Ray rip of a 1080p movie in less than 10 minutes.
Yeah this one hits home for me.
I remember running Ulduar in Warcraft back in the day with over 2000 ping. It was the only option.
Still know those fights considering I had to know them 2 seconds ahead of time.
This is me with my parents. When a webpage takes a moment to load, they’ll look at me and be like, why isn’t this loading?
And then I’ll be like, bruh, back in the day, I had to stop using the internet, because you wanted to make a phone call. You’ll survive waiting a goddamn femtosecond longer.Yeah, speed demon 9600 baud on CompuServe
I remember spending a week downloading an awesome film. Only to find out at the end of was scary porn
Waiting forever to download a single .jpg … and having someone pick up the phone.
Almost a man. About 17.
Yep, I’m that old… Get off my lawn
Broadbrand, brother sword to Frostbrand, freezer of souls.
Bane speaks the truth!
So many people don’t know the pain of loading their porn at the blazing speed of 36kb/sex or less.
How many people were having sex?
bonk!
Kids will not understand the pain of downloading a 3mb file for 25minutes straight and then realize is a virus/porn/gore/etc instead of what you want.
