I was just telling my son the other day about how when AOL came out in the 90’s our subscriptions were for 30 minutes of internet time or something ridiculous like that, on a 28.8 modem. We had this talk as we were streaming the new Bond movie over Flixster.

Napster used to bounce around mp3 tunes which people thought was super cool....back in the day
There days 4gb files as in movies get streamed and bounced with ease. Blue Ray files of 25GB are no big deal either I suppose
My first modem was 56.6. The 28.8 ones were getting phased out
