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.
“Playing on Neopets. Then getting several boyfriends on Neopets, proposing marriage to one of them with rings we sent each other, and being neomarried and letting everyone know on the neoboards.”

That's 30 years ago...
remember that the fastest dial-up modems (56k) would download around 8Kb/s
