The coolness factor is low if you think of it as a bunch of dumptrucks. But, really, it's a series of tubes.

The Interweb started to suck for me when 14 year old girls were like "getting on line easy. All I have to do is point and click". In my day we had to edit the autobat.config file to get our modems to work properly.

"Toothless People"

They only show you their gums when they smile
Ain't got a tooth in their heads now...how vile
Only can eat things like pudding and applesauce
They never have to buy toothpicks or dental floss

Hey! Stand up!
Toothless people...their breath is lethal, wanna tell you
Hey...come on! Stand up...get on your feet!
Toothless people...old and feeble, what I say

No more of those pearly whites will they possess
Their oral hygiene is frightful...a mess
Lots of 'em suffering from trench mouth and gum disease
At least they don't have to worry 'bout cavities

Hey! Stand up...take out your teeth!
Toothless people...old and feeble, oh yes

You can brush 'em, you can floss 'em
They're something you just can't ignore
If you lose 'em, you're in trouble
'Cause the tooth fairy won't come no more
You need something to show your dentist
The next time he makes you say "ahh..."
You don't wanna have to wind up
Eating all of your food through a straw

Like toothless people
Toothless people...you'd better brush your teeth now
Hey...toothless, toothless, toothless, toothless people

Lumber Jack Off: the internet was awesome until myspace came along. that ruined it in my opinion.

I think most people liked it better when it required the slightest bit of technical know-how to get online. When it was only university students and a few tech-heads, it was more of a community. Now that every vapid teenager has several pages dedicated to themselves and their lives, it's lost its charm.

That being said, I was only born in 1990, so I would have missed out on the experience, and although I'm sure it used to be better, I enjoy it in its current form.

The internet was waaay cool when I started using it in the early '70s. Back then it was just a few universities and government labs hooked together. It was known as OnionBeltNet.

Face it, the Internet hasn't really been cool since it was ARPANet.

Not trying to threadjack, but I'm reminded of the days before broadband.

When I started delving into Web page design around 1995 or so, one of the most important things I learned was to be very careful to compress all graphics and photos down to the smallest possible size (while maintaining reasonable quality) so as to keep the page from taking forever to load over a 14.4k modem.

It was preferable to keep the entire page size, all text and graphics, to a maximum of 50KB. I would sometimes literally tweak a graphic pixel-by-pixel to try to shave a few more KB off without losing quality, because getting the page to load in 20 seconds was way better than having it take 30 seconds. Those days are long gone, thankfully.
