I wonder if the first days of SMTP were like this—people sending emails to each other in amazement that messages could reach people on other servers.
I remember the early days of instant messaging where people would just jump in a chatroom and ask where others were from, then sit there in awe. "HONEY, I'm talking to someone from Ireland! HONEY! Come look!"
And here I am in Ireland reading your message now
Go to bed
