Do you think people would open their eyes and become more neighborly? Would it free people to actually talk to their friends, go to actual events in person? Or is everyone already entrenched too far?

And yes its ironic im posting this online. However I like to think of how the world would react if we could disable the internet for a few months. Besides the chaos of banking and airlines, I think it would be a net positive on humanity.

Until then, ill go back to being mostly disconnected on weekends. Its great.

    I believe that the perfect internet is 1999 but with Wikipedia.

    That’s it.

    All tech: 1999 and before. Flip phones. MP3 players. DVD. Etc.

    It was perfect and corporations did not suck our souls out through our assholes.
