Is anybody else feeling like it's already gone that way is there really any reason you will miss the World Wide Web or won't? Talk to me about this I'm curious and in need of your insights in terms of what if it just was gone. Individually as communities as Nations as the world?

So much of our economy relies on the web, it would almost be like banking or the electricity completely shutting down. Now, would the world be better if the web never existed? Could be. Did we really need this automation? Are we getting more vacation? Naw.

Would you agree that would be a utility? pay bills buy stuff use the web largely as a utilitarian purpose? I think in many ways it has those features and they are some of the most unfair economic situations in history at this point what do you think?

Sadly. I would feel a great release from this weight of needing to stay connected and updated on so much. I envy my grandparents who learned of news daily/weekly. A great reset probably wouldn't be bad. Of course that would mean a different line of work...

first thought: fuck, there goes my job. second thought: fuck, there go my connections to most of my friends. next thought: ok, now what? new protocols? how to rebuild those connections on new channels and go from there? focusing on the personal first, I think.
