I was just discussing something along these lines with a friend. Back when dial-up was was king, I went to an info expo where they were displaying broadband. I typed in my email host’s website, and when I pressed enter, the page just clicked in. No vertical loading whatsoever. It was the future!
Funny to see twenty-odd years later we are stuck in the same throttling ecperience us dial-up users had to experience organically. I really hope a new web is in the brewing. Corpo greed is so fucking cruel.
