new internet

Beyond that the wider internet just strikes me as a sad place. There is no energy there. The cracks in the wall are beginning to show.

The timeline isn’t settled.

The @-mention isn’t settled.

Nothing is settled. It’s 2003 again!

I think that this whole smartphone scrolling, content consuming, ubiquitous posting, Extremely Online thing is going to go the way of the Fedora, or the Marlboro smoked at cruising altitude in economy class. In the end it is all going to fade.

The internet really w as better, back before it turned into “five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of text from the other four.”
