Reminds me of when I got my second ever flip phone, and while it was great with texts (which played cool data transmission sounds over nearby speakers) and it was the first one I had with a camera, the first-gen web browser they had on it simply took ages getting even an image to load over the cellular connection.

I was thinking, this is cool. I can actually web browse on my phone. Sort of. I figured the connection will get better over time and was generally optimistic about what a cell phone would someday be, but never did I think we'd be able to stream not just video but high-definition video over cell service like it's nothing. While I have a lot more experience and knowledge now, I've learned to hesitate before claiming anything is impossible.
