I have yet to see someone romanticize 90s dial-up loading times.
I don’t mean a simulation or reenacting, but a genuine “How I wish my Internet was as slow as in the 90s” sentiment.
- salad-tycoon 3y agoEh, I’ve thought a few times that if the internet were slower I might be on it less and if I were on it less I might be happier. Not only that but people wouldn’t expect instant replies 24/7, less anxiety about going out without a connected phone, less advertisements, less tracking. I could go on. Fast broad band everywhere = eternal instant gratification and over connection. There. Now you’ve seen everything.
- thih9 3y agoSeems subtly different; you don’t want slow internet just for yourself; you want fast internet to not be an option, for anyone. But I’ll allow it, looks like you are romanticizing dial up anyway. Congrats?
