“I was a kid in 1992 when my dad bought a computer and hooked it up to the internet. He was immediately pirating games onto floppy disks. Almost every day I would go to the Sesame Street website, let it load for like half an hour, then watch a two or three-frame animation of some of the characters.”

What I always found amazing about the internet was how quickly it became high speed. I was doing internet support back in the mid 90s supporting 14.4k (and up) dial up modems. Back then a T1 (1.544 Mbps) was so amazing - only business had them. Now there is Gig (1,000 Mbps) fiber coming in to our houses.

#13 what a fake download window. downloading from a local network address, at a speed of around 60Mbit.
remember that the fastest dial-up modems (56k) would download around 8Kb/s
