If I ever become a parent, I think I will enjoy recalling the details of what it was like to live in the 2000s to my kids, telling them about all the primitive technology I had to endure while growing up. I would tell them about the 10GB hard drive I had in my computer, which mind you was big for its time, and the time before digital cameras. However, I think the hardest thing they will grasp to realize is the fact there was a time before the Internet. While the Internet itself was born much earlier than I was, I did not see its impact personally until I was around three or four. I remember my dad would bring home multiple 3.5" floppy disks with thirty day trials of dial-up internet. He would then set it up, plug a telephone cable into our newest Acer laptop and getting online. I also remember the days of accidentally picking up the telephone while someone was connected, hearing the beeps and boops, and then hearing someone yelling from the computer to hang up the phone. It was not until I was a bit older when we finally got Telus high speed Internet, reaching a blazing 15Mbps download. However, nowadays this is pretty slow, especially with Gigabit speeds becoming the norm. It is amazing to see how fast technology has progressed, and the routers too have become just as fast. Today, we have another wireless router in our labs, the TP-Link Archer C3150. While this router should be much more capable than my days of dial-up internet, we should still question how well this one performs in today's standards.
