Do you want to wait an hour (or more) to be able to downloads something after making a purchase? The answer is obviously not.
But sometimes we have to wait even more.
The is another reality on top of this: people are going to be upset if they have to wait 45-48 seconds for the download to start. When it comes to Internet, patience stands at near zero. Most of us will click "X" is a webpage takes more than a couple seconds to load.
Those, who do this probably have not experienced ADSL, nor the mobile internet, to stick to even modern technologies. The internet can be slow. Both with old, and with new technology. Sometimes I wait more than one minute for a website to load.
Looks like patience is indeed a virtue nowadays. People were much more patient in the past.
We used to wait hours for a cd to be burned and several minutes waiting for that new mp3 that you wanted to download with modems of 56k lol. Patience was a requirement to be in front of a computer not so many time ago.
True. We had a 486, Pentium I-II-III-IV PCs in my childhood. I have not used 56k modem, but I experienced the slow speed of the CD burning, and the slow speed of the internet. The latter was not that slow. If I remember correctly, the first internet connection I used was 64 Kbit/s or 128 Kbit/s.
Ah 486.. now that's a term I haven't heard in a long time! Pentium as well lol how times change! :D
