I remember when I used the internet for the first time. I was using a 2.4K modem. I was so excited to be downloading black & white pictures of comic characters at 30 minutes each.
My dad eventually upgraded to a 14.4K modem.
Now, I was able to download similar pictures in 5 minutes! I got even more excited.
This was all on a Macintosh.
A year later, we got a new computer... a PC. It came with a 28K modem. I was even more thrilled since I could now download pictures within a few minutes.
A few years later, my dad got a 56K modem. I was like... "WHOA!" I was able to download pictures within a minute.
I then went to RIT a few years later. After using their internet, nothing was ever the same for me.
