It's funny to think how downloading a single MP3 could take like an hour. The thought of being able to download a full length movie was unheard of. The thought of downloading ANY file that is in the GB's was unheard of. Even 50MB was considered a very large file. I remember when Napster came out, I showed my mom how to use it, and she was in heaven. So much music at your finger tips! Now, we just take all this for granted. Heck, nevermind the speed, just the fact that the connection is "always on" and not tying up the phone line. Just that alone is a big plus compared to before.
