Eternal September? Oh no, it's someone lamenting the loss of a program which didn't even exist until 2005. Things were always better in the past, that's because we don't remember the bad things. Apart from Punch the Monkey. The internet is what you make of it. There are risks to it in the future (centralisation of DNS and requirements on centralised SSL being the current ones), but there always have been. Some things are easier (running your own server, or multiple servers, on multiple contents, with tons on bandwidth), some things are harder (getting other people to accept your email), but the internet is what you make of it, and there's far more you can make of it today if you want once you stop worrying what other people do.
