It's been interesting to watch the changes, but I can't help wondering if "barely adequate speeds" really means what we think it means. I'm certainly enamored of my current 1 mbps-down cable connection, and when it goes out, as it's wont to do, I feel the digital equivalent of phantom-limb syndrome. I wonder what would happen if I went back to dial up? Of course then I'd need a land line phone, which I haven't had in years...cellular revolution and all that. How times change. Will we even recognize the networks that out grandchildren create? Reading this, I’m reminded of my old 1200 bps external modem, and AOL billing by the hour.
