Few positive points about Internet comments:
█ Dial-up - I believe was the right balance of speed and using it wisely (as the speed was the limit on the human who was new to it all, and now it's like our cup is too full and even experts ignorant... data spilling over everywhere being able to up/download 10 things at a time / gigs of video which is allowing suppliers to also drain the planet and our time being lost there). So ironic the biggest supplier might be called "Amazon" or "AWS" which backs a lot of internet purely as 'cheap' storage) as in chop down the trees 'Amazon' for data centres,
e,g, I have limited my internet living more eco and certainly I now pick and choose downloads a lot more or have to wait for things like it's Christmas tomorrow! Still binge but easier to catch myself.
█ We need also to learn how to counter and protect from commercial mentality in everything like before. Literally World War 1 & 2 mentality never went away 'suddenly' and just transferred to soft war (like tech including broadband in 2000's) which is better economy (profit) for governments / owners of citizens. Imagine how much we all paid for broadband and still do! Each town could have 1 wifi (or does but we all pay individually)(
And since Google Email being $9.99 per month then turning free and then near-unlimited space - you are also part of this drain (not all your fault but learning helps choices now).
START to FINISH we need communication done the right way and be more careful in every choice we make (terms and conditions we click) meaning we don't use them also and not pretending we don't know.. we have to act like they were never invented sometimes and not available to us morally.
█ "rose-tinted glasses" as @lauren said about yes but I'm not suppressing your framing too - all were good periods of creativity / pleasure and then up and downs... main thing is to expect and see banks and debt and governments for what they will now or later... and like making drones usually it's allowed and released for a reason (it's vetted and funding the whole thing even with 'neutral' looking access - under all now it's a lot more though about and less innocent than BBS days).

█ Yes BBS + dial-up modem were innocent. Telephone actually had advantages and nice limits... but again educating users is the MAIN TASK which people buying into broadband solved commercially as it was more of a hobby before and needed courage/knowledge....

Nice comments I'll come back to BUT DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING IS DEAD UNLESS YOU'RE NOT PART OF IT... SO without caps (sorry) I encourage you to talk to me and revitalise whatever you care about... with love, not just advertising myself but I believe we keep things alive (and can kick it dead too usually by using other things ignorantly like Gmail / Google). ♥
