I don't miss dial-up internet, I just don't. I don't even like the sound because it's just digital screeches and it's a sound that makes me cringe a little upon hearing it. Because I remember the times when I'd be listening to music with headphones with volume high and then that fucking digital screech just blares into my ears.

I don't miss waiting 30 minutes to load a page. I don't miss a bit of it.

Cable television.

Every time I visit my mom she has it on and I can't believe I spent an entire childhood putting up with that shit. I can't even watch it while I'm there. Too frustrating.

Whenever I have a chance to watch cable tv occaionally, I am astonished how many commercials there are and that, before the inception of the internet, everyone put up with commercials that lasted for about 10 minutes. And seemingly still do.

Today, when using the internet exclusively, one gets annoyed by maximum when there is one single ad that slipped through the ad blocker.
