There was no societal need for technology to ever progress past this point.
And they pin ADHD on the zoomer generation. Look at this fucking retard
Try moving it now.
>>106555073LameI watch youtube while playing games while stream podcasting with my mates
>>106555073>calls and sms>email>text based websitesThis is all we would need for a comfy civilization.
>>106555185I was going to write a post disagreeingBut then I realized that AI and streaming destroyed the internetI totally agree, except add YouTube
>>106555155okay, onions b o i
>>106555073TRVE AVD REVL
>>106555073Sovl.
>>106555073Ehh let’s add a few years so I can get an ssd
>>106557968piss of you knob
>macromedia flash for everything>15 mins for a boobie picture to load, connection would drop just as the nipple would render>pop up ads forevony, tenticle grape, anglefire, and dubious ROM and warezI know we look back with rose tints, but that era had its own obnoxious problems
>>106555073Theres a strong argument to be made for locking technology where it stood on January 8th 2007.
>>106558413>15 mins for a boobie picture to loadanon we’re talking about 2006 here. not 1998
>>106555073I like crt tvs but the hum drives me nuts
>>106558435in 2006 only about 7% of the world had high-speed internet
>>106558435I did not have DSL in 2006, I still remember 15-35 kb/s on a GOOD day
>>106558497yeah the white parts, we hadn’t yet hooked india
>>106558435>>106558517I lived in the middle of a small village, we had ADSL and it was at 1-2megabit.Don't listen to these anons, 2006 wasn't that bad. In 2006 I was pirating games non stop, I was still using newsgroups. yeah, it took time to download a game since it would be between 4-9GB, maybe more for a PC game but it wasn't that bad.
>>106558545nigger that involved most of canada and america, upwards of 60-80%
>>106555073I'd gladly just freeze technology right before the iPhone came out.
>>106558628By geography maybeI had a cable modem in 2004 and live in the West Virginia coal fields
>>106557968
>>1065585552006 was great. 640 kbps was plenty enough for me. You only had to wait a night or so to download a multiple GB game. The world went crazy a few years after, but before that happened we had a few good years.
>>106558497It was probably the last time internet had an average IQ above 100
>>106558727>ssd actually are old techWtf
>>106558793they were conceived early but unviable for decades because the gates would wear down too fast. mid to late 2000s had a number of breakthroughs that made them commercially viable at large sizes.
>>106558809So what was the most decent one you could get in 2006?
>>106555073And it never did what is your point?>>106555155You don't need to take your goon cave with you everywhere do you timmy?
>>106555073I like how much more powerful, slimmer and more convenient technology is now.

>>1065588402006-7 was when ssds just entered mainstream high endthey were stupid expensive compared to today ($500+, do inflation calculations) and 32-64gb but you could find themalso remember this was well before even 1tb hdds to put the size into some context
>>106561268Nice argument.
>>106561731what is there to argue? youre a retarded zoomer, nothing else need be said
>>106555073No, we absolutely did need to progress past the point of having any reason to watch TV. Fucking slopboxes.
>>106558435My town (in australia) still had dial-up in 2006 unless we were willing to fork out crazy money for a satellite connection.
>>106561759You sound underage.
>>106555155Stop renting and buy your own house.
