Broadband having a major impact on our lives? Nah!

I don't believe that. That's hogwash!

I can only:

* Pay bills on-line with a few clicks
* Order movies tickets in seconds
* Quickly compare an item's features and prices
* Receive and send pictures way faster than the post office
* Check my bank and investment accounts
* See real-time updates on weather and traffic
* Watch news feeds
* See what's happening at certain intersections via city web cams
* post in multiple forums in a matter of minutes on BBR
* edit this post 10 times before someone read it
* and more!

Nah, it doesn't have a major impact at all.

How many of those could you do on dialup as opposed to broadband, though?

The amount of time I spend doing those tasks is dramatically reduced by having a broadband connection.
