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.

Anonimity, privacy, and the dream that the world was full of intelligent kind people.

are you not nostalgic for it?

Very much so, the fully connected world is much more dystopian than I could ever imagine. I just misread OP.

You like being exposed and surrounded by idiots? Because the post asked what you weren't nostalgic for.
