Rise of the Googlenater

The other day, I heard the strangest thing on a radio report. Google had chosen Kansas City, Kansas, for a new fiber-optic thingamajigger set-up that is going to give the city Internet connections that go something like one-hundred times faster than broadband. It got me thinking back to the old days . . . [wobbly memory segue waves on the screen . . .]

Remember (last Friday) when broadband used to be considered fast? Remember how you would have to wait, like, six seconds for a website to appear on your screen? How the heck did we put up with it? So much wasted time. Man, oh, man [falls into a wistful stare].
