I believe the marvels of early information technology / pre-corporate internet culture can be rekindled (and are still partially with us). But for that the shallow and overly rapid and disjointed endeavors, however addictive, will have to cease. In early public internet times I feel me and my friends had hit a true sweet spot of mixed RL/virtual interaction and mixed RL/virtual shared experiences (via video games mostly): A parallel world much more interesting than the slow, dull and formal real (public) life. However, lacking personal records of that time, my memory fades (a personal archive helps with that)... Now many have fallen victim to the consume, engage, forget, repeat cycle (myself included, but recovering) :( Here's to the coming era of self-moderation.
