The nature of progress


When I first had cable internet installed in the fall of 2003, it was only 1.5 megabits. And I thought it was the fastest thing. I didn't even have a cell phone st the time. 4 years later, I got a phone with a data plan (just a dumb Samsung T619, iirc), and the bit rate wasn't even 56k....

Fast forward to today, where I just did a speed test, and my 3g is now 1.6 megabits. And I know that is not even the fastest connection.... I think my current bandwidth from Comcast is 12 megs, but my modem caps out at 10...
