<p>As a Class of ‘13ers, the first time I had internet was when I was 13 years old (roughly around 8th grade). Good ol’ 56 kbps. It was also the first time, I had a land line since my family relied on 1 or 2 cellphones for the whole family. Two years later, we finally upgraded to 768 kbps dsl. Then a year later, I was gifted my first cellphone during my junior year. Just a month ago, we doubled the internet speed to 1.5 mbps. We’re slowly crawling along the technological trend. </p>
<p>I assume the students believe e-mail is slow because of the response time. They can send the e-mail to the recipient in a split second. But it’s “slow” when the recipient feels like replying back hours or days later.</p>
