Adaptation
How rapidly humans adapt. A mere three weeks ago, I would have cracked out the proverbial champagne bottle for a consistent download speed of 4.2KB/s. Today, I caught myself staring disgustedly at a 2MB/s download, simply because I have adapted to a glorious average of 6MB/s.
Nonetheless, it still gives me little thrills to see that I have just downloaded Pi in under three minutes. Movie recommendations, anybody? Before I start to download Sex and the City?
