(ot) fast enough for you?

is this fast enough?

I would need 8.3 years with my current 1mb connection to download the data I
could download with this connection in 1 month.

56k was blazing fast a few years back. Now it's slow. 1.5Mb was fast!
Now, it's just ok... :)

It's never fast enough!

Re: (ot) fast enough for you?

there is a threshold of the amount of information one person can absorb...
its a biological limit. But of course the data volume will increase if you
download for example High definition movies...

but just think of it.. in 1 day you can download more MP3 songs than you can
listen to in
30 years of continuous playback 24/7!!!

lol

(I didn't calculate it but it sounds right)

However there is also a possibility that they will create a USB plug
directly to the brain...

LET THE DOWNLOADS BEGIN!!!! :-)

Re: (ot) fast enough for you?

with 56k, pages were a lot of text. As broadband came into the picture
more had pictures, flash, and video. Now, as speeds get higher, we will
have the high def on the internet. :) It's all about the software taking
advantage of the hardware. And I love seeing them play the game of leapfrog!

Things ALWAYS take advantage of the greater speeds.

And, when do I get my USB plug for my brain? :)
