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.

    I very much enjoy online shopping and am not nostalgic for driving all over town to find a part or thing only to settle for something that’s a partial match for what I want and much more than I wanted to spend. If a local retailer happens to have what I am looking for, I’m more than happy to purchase it in store, but almost always know exactly where it is in the store and how many are in stock.
