No, but hey, all seriousness aside, I'm lucky I'm not paid to do something with a high speed web connection at my fingertips all day. I'm one of them blue collar grunts....damn, y'ought to hear me grunt when I pick up a big board.
But oh mah god, I know I'd be tempted to surf way too much iff'n I had a T-1 at my disposal. I like, feel ya'all's pain and stuff. |
Back before the WWW, I'd waste more time than a Congressional committee. But since about 1996 or so, it's been more routine. What it has done is make me completely impatient with most services. When I download stuff at work, it is nothing to get a big file. I downloaded over a TB in a couple hours (pissed-off everybody else on our LAN...). Now we have a bunch of 500 GB hard drives that we ship as needed. That's a massively parallel data transfer in realtime.
