I recall the year 2000 as we stepped into the 21st century. People around me were excited that we made it into the 2nd millenium. It signified milestones in technology, progress in society, and we thought we were the future.
At that time, almost every household had a computer and internet connection. We thought we were so modern and stuff, but we were still using dial-up.
It's funny now that we think about it, what with everyone connected to the internet with lightning quick broadband. Once upon a time, it took a person about 5 - 10 minutes to get connected. Now, we complain if we even have to wait for 30 seconds.
