I see this attitude among the so-called "Artsy/Serious" wanna-be's and it drives me nuts.
At least put the location - ya know - city, state/provence, general area, continent, planet .... you get my drift.
Pictures with no context are just that - pictures that if they raise questions - just can't answer the most simple ideas. Who is this (does not have to be specific to a person but in general), where is this (throw us a bone, give us a hint) and possibly why is this.
When I take pictures of doors and other such trivia, at least there are clues as to where it is.

Since I am using a K-3II, for the most part I leave in the GPS so you can look it up if you are interested. If you don't know how to do that, well then read the file name - I tend to label things or add in keywords (the Instagram generation calls them "tags")

If you use a laptop to cruise the net or upload photos the slower NIC is the cause.
Most laptops do not have NIC's anymore as they are wireless. Wireless is inherently slower than ethernet. And even the ethernet connections are subject to the slowest component. Just go work for a large company and have your internet provider have a router puke three or four hops away. Everything drops to the lowest speed device. Pipe size matters.
For instance, I was working at a site that had a world wide private network managed by one of the big telecoms. Well, we negotiated a new contract and the old contractor decided to drop our Fiber interconnect between the US and Europe to a "more efficient" link. So instead of running over fiber across the Atlantic we were switched to a combination of satellite and old copper cables. Needless to say our business connectivity (and our software development teams) were none too happy. We lost the equivalent of several days of dev time since our global software repositories could not be synced.
I live with a DSL line and get about 1mbs upload and on a good day, when my wife is not streaming Netflix, I get about 6.6mbs downloads. And I live less than two miles north of Redmond WA (Ya know the home of Microsquish?)
