"90s" programmer only by the skin of my teeth, but I didn't the internet centralizing. It just seemed like every company and person would have their site (and possibly domain) and they'd use that to communicate in their own way. My peers went to college before facebook and even friendster- we communicated by personal websites and blogs. These aren't technologists, but that was what was available to us so they picked up just enough html to publish. I thought the future was making that publishing easier. I wasn't wrong about that- twitter and facebook are easy. I just missed the consequences of "easy" becoming "walled garden."
