I miss when no politicians even understood what the internet was.
Ironically, the "series of tubes" politician gave a fair layman's view of bandwidth. The quote was taken out of context.
Know what I miss? Remember when internet purchases were tax free? That lasted so long it blew my mind. When the US started applying sales tax, there wasn't a whimper of protest.
They still don't, they're just more embarrassed about it now that almost everyone else does.
Which leads to more overcompensating and thus stricter controls.
