In 20 years somebody will write an article about missing this ‘old’ internet from 2021.
I wonder what they will miss.
- IgorPartola 5y agoMemes, Discord, the “old” Twitter, and either having ad supported sites (as opposed to everything being paid) or having premium sites (as opposed to everything being as supported.
- slver 5y agoMemes won’t go away. Nor will ads.
- vkk8 5y agoMemes will be killed by some entrepreneuring copyright troll at some point. In many jurisdictions, memes would either break the copyright laws or at least be in the grey zone. It's only a matter of time before someone exploits this. After one case, the platforms will ban them to avoid the risk of getting sued themselves. The same will probably happen for gaming videos.
- slver 5y agoReally. All right, I'm looking forward to the author of dickbutt stepping up and claiming what's theirs.

- ratww 5y agoI like your optimism in thinking it will take full two decades for people to miss sub-100MB pages. :)
- cutler 5y agoAI-enhanced web pages. Sorry, SPAS.

- agumonkey 5y agoyou said pages
- xwdv 5y agoAnonymity.
- einpoklum 5y agoThey might, but the piece will be less credible. Or - Fagoomazon might censor it.
- ajuc 5y ago> I wonder what they will miss. Being able to log in without providing you national ID number. And being able to run a public-facing server without a permit.
- selimthegrim 5y agoIn India they already miss this.
- Sleepytime 5y agoUnregulated encryption will be out in the next decade, it's too powerful for us plebes to have. Things will be safer when only the paragons of infosec like big corporations and banks get to use it freely.
- zeroonetwothree 5y agoI don’t see that anyone could have predicted the change of the past 20 years so it’s silly to think we can even guess at the next 20
