The internet being a "place" you would go to and then leave.
That's almost impossible to do now because everything is so linked to being online.
I don't miss dial up speeds, but I do miss the expectation of not always being online.
Luckily my job no longer expects it of me because I just don't answer after hours anymore.
And not being always reachable by phone. If you are out, there was simply no way to reach you. Good times.
