I hate how every website wants to connect to your Google or Facebook account now. Leave me alone!

I know what I don't miss is that loud modem doing the ping pong ping pong sound and my phone being tied up just to send an email. But I do miss the all those 90's chat rooms out there.

God I haven't thought about that in a long time!! That was the original way I got onto the internet from home. I still remember someone telling me there was a way so get a windsock and actually get graphics. Beyond me at that time.

Beyond me at that time.I also vaguely remember a few users mentioning graphics, but It was so long ago that I can't recall specifics.
What about the good ol' 16 bit Windows 3.1?

Honestly everything pre 04/05 was dial up at my house in those days so don't really miss that too much. I can say I miss the early days of youtube where becoming viral was a new thing (yall remember that unforgiveable video where that dude in the woods just yelling about waffle fries lol) & also the blog era circa 07 cuz of all the music for me
