Random things this post made me appreciate:
Broadband - especially 1+Gbps connections (we are spoiled and I love it!)
Latency that can be measured in milliseconds per packet around the world, not seconds or minutes per character.
Multitasking not just locally, but across a network
Streaming video when I remember a 320x240 image taking FOREVER to download
Downloads that actually complete and don't corrupt most of the time.
Stateless connections that are easy to restart if something does go wrong
And so much more.
- fragmede 3y agoDownloading files used to be such a situation. Remember GetRight?
- neoCrimeLabs 3y agoSadly I don't remember GetRight had to google it. That said I remember how happy I was with Z-Modem when it came out. Before I had an error correcting modem with lots of line-noise I thought Z-Modem with it's built in error correction, ability to resume an interrupted download, and even auto-downloading (not having to tell my terminal to download) felt like magic!
