It's amazing that we still have a small number of people connected with connections that are slower than the first one ever, 50 years ago.
- Aperocky 7y agoFunny how that technological innovation have sped up so much that 50 years is now (actually, today it'd be less) considered to be the time that the average person should have something better than the state-of-the-art at the time. This is definitely not true for the majority of history. The way the world ran in 1979 would not have been that much notifiably different than 1929, even though people have landed on the moon. Today, the life of the average Joe is completely transformed by internet.
