56K was probably healthier though. You couldn't be online most of the day. Getting online was kinda special. You also didn't have a device in your pockets at all times enabling you to go online whenever you wanted.
We had to do everything in meatspace. Which was great. People talked more. You couldn't really get yourself into an echo chamber. You had to have real hobbies.
It's possible to go back to that on an individual basis, obviously, but I miss it being the norm.
