How seamless the modern internet is. Lots of people aren't old enough to remember how painful dialup was. Webpages and images took a long time to load. I'd open a video and pause it waiting for it to load so I can watch it in one go. If I wanted to play a flash game I would just go do something else for 15 minutes while it loads.
Oh and splitters were really uncommon so whenever someone picks up the phone, the internet would stop working. People don't know the pain of downloading something for 3 hours and then shouting to your parents to not pick up the phone.
Now clicking something would load it almost instantly. How cool is that?
Dude, I remember the days of dialup. You'd be up all night and only see like six and a half boobs.
