I really loved this piece. First, it includes the very very recognizable noise of dial up internet starting up. Later, OK go's Damian Kulash said "That sound..I think it's like what the Beatles must have to my parents, it calls back out all of the rage and lust and hormones of my youth."
This piece provides a lot of different perspectives on one subject, the idea of the slow internet movement. It shows a business which focuses on the idea of slowness, hand pouring coffee and blocking phone signal.They interview a young woman who appreciates the idea. They interview a professor who says slower internet is like meditating. There is an interview with a woman who started the "slow food movement." Those perspectives are all very different and add to the story.
The details which are given are great including the background noise, like coffee beans being poured and a person asking for two hours of dial-up. I also liked how they introduced and ended the interview with Kulash with "Love Me Longtime."
