>Remember when you could quickly FTP a file, toss up a web page, email someone a zipped file. Can’t do any of that now without jumping through hoops.

Oh I remember all right. I've spent weeks of my life yelling into a phone "no PASV. You have to find where it says PASV and check it"

Toss up a web page? On what, Geocities? (back to the ftp thing are we?)

Email a file? Great. I hope its less than 2mb or it might just vanish somewhere along the way...

Dropbox. Wordpress. Slack. This stuff is 100x better for the average user than a decade ago. 1000x better than 2 decades ago.

The real trouble is all of this means just about nothing when you're afraid to go to the doctor because your deductible is more than a decent used car.
