Hey kids, I remember the internet when it was the wild west, but no, not life threatening.

These days it's a walled garden that's actually more dangerous.

"It’s going to throw everything it can at us, but at the end of the day, the spectacle is just an illusion. It’s powerless without your acquiescence, and there are a hundred ways to look away from it and start building self-sufficiency and resilience."

It's always nice to see the picture end with a positive message about our power as individuals to change the model. For all of us who enjoyed the era where corps were dismissive of the Internet and mocked users writing content as unqualified bloggers. There is a power in the nostalgia and keen reminder that freedom allowed us to build communities organically and not only can we do it again we must. Yes, let's roll! :~)
