Dial-Up.
Sure we know the noise, we joke about the porn images taking time to load and we joke about other things. But I would rather have a 10mbps connection or even 5mbps connection than ever having dial-up again. It wasn’t that good and it amazes me that dial-up still has life at all today, even if little.
Inflatable things.
I never really liked those inflatable chairs. I always feel like I’m going to pop them or some seam will unseal itself and air will gradually leave the inflatable chair and eventually I’ll sit on floor. These kinds of things were everywhere for a time, some still are, but at least are made by companies that have a better idea about making inflatable products work. Like camping equipment.
I don’t think anyone thinks dial-up was good.
Exactly, if you wanted the Internet, you got dial up. If you want to cross the ocean, do you want to travel by boat or by bicycle? A plane would be faster, but if I only have a boat I’ll take it.
