@ilovecomputers been thinking about this a lot. I miss the shear excitement of the discovery of enthusiastic individuals making great sites. Tech giants damaged it. FB killed blogging and forums. Google and Apple pushed everything into their myopic view as the small, enthusiast was pushed out by corporate greed and the fact that ultimately a few geeks decided they knew best. Agree about AI but for me the bigger issue is constant tracking and advertising. We have become commodities. Sure some of the Internet is very useful... but the joy has gone.
