I don’t miss dial-up internet, I just don’t. I don’t even like the sound because it’s just digital screeches and it’s a sound that makes me cringe a little upon hearing it. Because I remember the times when I’d be listening to music with headphones with volume high and then that fucking digital screech just blares into my ears.
I don’t miss waiting 30 minutes to load a page. I don’t miss a bit of it.
Same, I tend to reserve full album listens for working and long car/plane/train rides. With the current standard of streaming services over mobile, I find myself mostly listening to previously downloaded stuff because of inconsistent US mobile data service in my area occasionally. I’ve also gone the route of upgrading my old iPod with more storage (160GB -> 1TB) and battery life and just carry all of my music with me.
