Seeing how Internet 1.0 is getting cannibalized by big business and governments, I'm hoping to see HS and other orgs start working on an offline mesh network and devise a completely new system of information distribution.
Humanity appears to be changing the public park infrastructure of the Internet into a paid-access theme park, with [them/someone else] writing the rules. It doesn't look like the righteous, tech illiterates, political manipulators or shareholder driven groups are going to relent.
The Internet used to be filled with raw data, but in the age of centralized, walled garden curating, the essence of the information superhighway has been lost.
It would be cool if they could pioneer a new way to replicate data in the age of autonomous vehicles or use the Internet to transfer volumes of data for offline nodes to broadcast and reimagine DNS and the other fundamental tools to make something like that resilient.
If they could remove most/all of the ads, marketing, monetization and censorship from the data, we might see another generation experience the raw data bliss many of use were raised on in the pre-dot.com era.
It was truly something special and felt like the world (of knowledge) was at your fingertips (instead of something slimey on the other end).
- Proven 7y ago> Seeing how Internet 1.0 is getting cannibalized by big business and governments How is it cannibalized? It is bigger and cheaper than ever before. To your anti-business comment, HS runs on an ICO powered platform. Isn't that business? It may not be big business but it certainly wouldn't be small if it were to replace a TLD. > The Internet used to be filled with raw data, but in the age of centralized, walled garden curating, the essence of the information superhighway has been lost. You mean when it was small enough so that it could be funded entirely by taxpayer money? > It was truly something special and felt like the world (of knowledge) was at your fingertips (instead of something slimey on the other end). Sadly that hasn't ended - governments are still burning pubic money like before, the only thing is now it's a drop in the. bucket. Ideally that spending would go down to zero but we have to be patient.
