Yup; fully half the customers I spotted in a local mall store yesterday were fully engaged in their laptops, lattes in hand, in surreal contrast to couples who were actually facing and talking to each other. Not one customer was reading a (physical) Sunday paper.

All those comments presuppose the existence of a laptop, which still isn't something everyone has.
As someone who hasn't got one I can sympathize with the problems of other people bound by the laws of the connected copper. Ok, at least partially Where I live I pay ~9$ per month for a shared 166Mbps line with no traffic cap, which means I do tend to have a somewhat different look of the Internet that others. (It's the other end that's slow, not me)

Just out of curiosity, can you report what this speed test registers, if at all? Got into it with my ISP a few years back over their claimed speed, with them going on about "Well, that's not our test, and besides, there are computer set-up/configuration variables to consider...".

Soylentgreen's doesn't. Libraries usually have internet-connected computers that you can just sit down at and use.
