I was on dial-up internet well after most people had moved to dedicate higher speed connections. It was very obvious then that websites were just piling more crap in and I was thinking about how much of a problem that trend was going to be for our hardware. That wasn’t even considering how much those companies would be dipping into our time, sanity, and privacy.
I still design my personal web pages like we're in the modem days. Mostly text, and the images are highly compressed jpegs with tons of artifacting. No javascript. It's a lot of fun
