While I am trying to use the internet less since the past 2 years or so, I will freak out if it ceases to exist completely.

I wouldn't even call it a luxury. Hasn't been for years.

I miss when it was a luxury. Pretty fun times if you ask me.

You bring up an interesting point.

Most people wouldn't consider a cup of tea to be luxurious at all. But if tea was scarce and you only got one cup a year, it would seem absolutely amazing, a special occasion and you'd really savour the experience.

There's definitely something to be said for luxury which is much more about rarity or restriction rather than the experience itself.
