It's a bit of a downer response. I think there's plenty to get excited about on the internet still, and I'm in my 30s. You don't have to accept boredom/apathy as a consequence of aging, although the catalysts will change. I don't expect an adult to scream with jubilation about toy trains.
- thom 5y agoThat’s not really what I was trying to say, but perhaps I’ve still not mastered the medium after all these years, eh? I founded a company with people I met on Twitter who were all doing the same hobby, scraping data from the web and trying to make meaning out of it. The company started as a blog (remember those!) So yes, still excited by the Internet. But I’m not going to beat myself up (nor the youth of today) trying to recapture the feeling of the 90s web through the eyes of a teenage me, because I think that’s impossible.
