“I miss the crazy feeling of being able to be with your friends at school all day, and then come home to be with them virtually through MSN. I remember customizing display names, display pictures, sending emojis (then called emoticons) and asking everyone for their e-mails to add them online. RIP MSN.”

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
