the perception of time flying too fast

Almost immediately. My roommates had our computers in the same room and we would regularly comment about the "magic clock" and how only 15 minutes ago it was 3 hours ago. Similarly, the "magic ashtray" that would go from empty to full in the course of 2 cigarettes.

Sometime in the 90ies, when i upgraded my modem to 33600 baud and everything started to go lightning fast. You could download a whole megabyte in less than five minutes, on a good day. Mind-blowing!
