The internet was a much more interesting place pre-2004, but I am not holding my breath for a return to those times.

- GuB-42 5y agoIt will never happen and I don't want it to happen. Early 2000s internet = Flash ads, Internet Explorer, dotcom bubble, popups, ... Yeah right, great time... At least, DSL/cable was an upgrade from dial-up. Pick any time in the history of the internet, and you can find something wrong. Eternal September was in 1993, I think it marks the start of the "old internet was better" times. Personally, say all you want about social media and the evil tech giants, but for me, every year, the internet becomes bigger and more useful, and the traces of the "good old times", whatever you want them to be, are still there.
