I think part of why I'm so obsessed with multi-tasking and doing 5 things at once is I grew up in the dial-up era and I'll click a link and then go "let me edit this text file while I wait for that to load" but now I have, like, broadband internet

Oh yeah, that’s exactly right. I have the same tendencies and it’s because I dealt with dial-up for so many years, first on BBSes and then for internet connectivity.

Old habits die hard. Or not at all.
