I don't miss dial-up internet, I just don't. I don't even like the sound because it's just digital screeches and it's a sound that makes me cringe a little upon hearing it. Because I remember the times when I'd be listening to music with headphones with volume high and then that fucking digital screech just blares into my ears.

I don't miss waiting 30 minutes to load a page. I don't miss a bit of it.

Meh, this one depends on where you lived. We had parties, lots of time with friends and hanging out, plus relationships...it wasn't until Grade 13 (which was a pre Uni course year) where we had so much homework, especially 3 uni level math course...just doing calculus for hours after school.
