I had to search up what FWIW means ๐Ÿ˜‚

Weโ€™re getting old bro itโ€™s ok. We have technology to sustain our aging minds.

It wasn't in my dictionary, so I had to dial up the internet to find out about it. You learn something new everyday.

Good olโ€™ dial up. I dial 1-800-AOL-CHINA for my facts. Correct every time.

I tried calling, but I don't think I can use my home phone when connected to the world wide web.

Iโ€™ve spent hours talking to the robot on that line. Never fails always responds. Beeeedadafadazhoo. Itโ€™s nice to have a consistent friend.

omg you crazy guys

What an era.

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ this too. My mom would call her friend while I was online and kick me off. So many fights happened

The trick was to unplug all the phones she had no idea how phones worked.

I just hid the phones in my room ๐Ÿ˜‚

i got those little indicators at Radio Shack that lit up if someone was using the line.

they were not amused.

Dial-up was really something. I used to try and watch Naruto episodes on YouTube that way. Would take an hour to load 5 minutes of the episode. Kids today donโ€™t know the struggle ๐Ÿ˜‚

I remember downloading the original X-Men movie on Kazaa. It took a full week to download.

One day, it was at 99% before going to school..I was super excited, knowing I could finally watch the movie when I got back home.

When I pressed play, it was a goddamn 2hr long gay threesome video ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

Kids don't know the struggle

Thatโ€™s actually cursed lmaoooo that was og internet trolling.

lol!! I was deep in p2p myself but wow would that have pissed me off. I had all the school computers as nodes for p2p and doing Folding@Home.

i got hooked on a some game that was on a BBS in Hong Kong.

phone bill was legit several hundred dollars.

so that was my birthday present that year.

Oh man I remember downloading a VCD of the matrix from gnutella, 2000ish. It was like seeing the future ๐Ÿ‘€

WinMX was the p2p client of choice as I recall.

thats where I got all the good stuff.

I only used limewire and literally gave the family computer aids

Gnutella was awesome after Napster got sued

They also won't appreciate the stride and how quickly technology changes

Thatโ€™s true. Theyโ€™re more entitled.

I mean give them some credit. They gave reason to have high expectations. They know what's possible

Never change ๐Ÿ˜‚
