Do You Take Hi-Speed Internet for Granted?

I never realized how dependent I am on the internet until I didnt have it at home for a few hours. The only thing that saved me was being able to do most of the things I do on the internet with my sprint card ( But reception sucks at my house :mad: (Only at my house though)

Its just hard to Imagine that a few years back the internet practically did not exist.

Still , when loading any page takes more than a few seconds, we freak out and get pissed. WTF is wrong where my intarnetz is being so slow!!! :funny:

Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit . . . unnatural? Support NORML

We dont even have fast internet. The rest of the world that have highly developed areas like us have much better internet.

The companies here in America are too cheap to upgrade. For instance now Fios is being advertised as so fast! In my area it is only 10mbps faster than my cable.

Its ridiculous also how we have to pay extra to use a service that helps them by not using as much power from their systems.
