Dial Up. Yeah I know the sound and I know the time it took to load anything with. But it’s something I won’t ever miss having. I would much rather be on a 1MB connection if I had to choose between that or dial up ever again. I also hated how easy it was to be kicked off, if anyone called the phone, you were off it in seconds.

Yeah, it’s very easy for me to look back on the 90s with rose-tinted glasses (everything was so much simpler then! Great music! Hope!), but that’s overlooking the things that really weren’t great. Page 3 of the Sun, Chris Moyles on Radio 1 counting down to Charlotte Church’s 16 birthday (aka the age of consent 🤮) rape in marriage not really being considered a thing. All symptoms of bigger underlying problems.
