I'm reminded of showing my buddy Steve how well the new cable modems worked.
I loaded up Kazaa or whatever file sharing thing was popular at the time.
"What's your favorite metal band?"
I type it in, results trickle in.
"Cool!"
"Nah, hold on." Then I type porn and hit enter.
BAM Full page of search results.
"HOLY SHIT!"

now do a man
I remember downloading porn in the 90s. It would take me about a week, mainly because I had a 28.8 modem, but also because I had to schedule them to resume in the middle of the night so my parents wouldn't know I was downloading porn. It would boot up at 2am, download for three hours, and then shutdown at 5am, about an hour before my dad woke up for work.
I stored it on a Zip disk labeled "homework."
For reference a gigabit connection is about 35,000 faster than a 28.8k modem.
Yeah, I should have clarified for the children in the audience
Didn't forget the part where a .jpg would load from the top down for three minutes, only for her to have a dick and you have to stop yourself from lighting your computer on fire.
that is what progressive jpeg was for
Not certain I agree with that last scene. Probably should have said,"wow technology is amazing!"
