>In a lot of ways, it would be a turn back to the early days of the web that some of us remember, except with much more democratic participation this time. And it’s a much more appealing vision for the internet than billions of people scrolling through their Facebook feeds. Very much a dreamer I see. This basically can’t happen and he nailed why at the beginning. It WAS a thing for the small minority, outsiders, geeks. It will never go back to that. Does make an interesting point though. That most of us here remember life before the internet (assuming demographic here is older than Reddit), but for 20-somethings that do not... fundamentally they MUST see it as something totally different than I do. More like how people my age see electricity, of course it’s always existed and always will, it just makes sense it’s always been there. We don’t appreciate the work it must have taken or that anyone made decisions to shape it what it is today, nor that it could be “done wrong” or used to be better, because if mistakes were made surely someone would have fixed them by now!
