> the Internet promised to be a democratising place to be turned to in the flight from the inequalities of the analogue world. Okay, maybe that didn't work out so well > It was presented to us a field in which to find freedoms, boundless creation Mostly yes. People are instagraming, tiktoking, youtubing, blogging, open-sourcing, unity-unrealing, more people are creating more things than ever before. > communication that transcended frontiers Totally true. I talk to friends all over the world. Participate on HN, discourse, discord, slack, email, facebook, etc and it's all free. Some of it sponsored but much of it just plain free, run by volunteers. > and free education for all. Pretty much true. What can't I learn about for free online? Pick nearly any topic and there are youtube channels, blog posts, articles, etc all for free on how to do pretty much anything.
