#47 Watching something download really fast

A long time ago, to connect to the internet, a modem once was connected to a phone, and this modem connects via dial-up to the internet service provider. The sound below is the classic modem trying to dial-up.




Facebook and twitter were a figment of imagination, Google was not a household name or a verb yet. And it would take ages to download just a picture on the screen.

That was the late 90's. Past forward to two decades, and internet has gone a long way. Websites load in a blink of an eye, music and videos in several minutes, and an entire movie in a few hours.

I got this from a friend who is downloading movies off the torrent


Movies download in an hour or less. Yummy!
