"Have you ever wondered why the Internet is always just a little bit too slow
to support the kind of activity you're trying to undertake?"
Another well-written Cory Doctorow column on the advance of technology,
including advice for developers:
"...always assume that your users are in a zone of patchy coverage, far from
technical assistance, working with larger files than they should, under tighter
deadlines than is sane, without a place to recharge their battery. Don’t make
your users load three screens to approve a process, and if you do, make sure
that if one of those screens times out and has to be reloaded, it doesn’t start
the process over. Assume every download will fail and need to be recovered
midstream. Assume their IP addresses will change midstream as they hunt for a
wifi network with three bars."
