this is the world they took from us
Christian Kent đđ :īŧŧīšĨ@rstevens I really (stupidly) thought, at a computer expo in February 2000, that all this good stuff was permanent
@whophd we got soft and made it too easy for people to use the internet
@rstevens Remember when "I do computers" didn't mean internet?
Also â I've lately thought a lot about the moment, in 1994, when I first saw someone send an email and receive a reply instantly. I was still living in the FidoNet bubble â pack your mail into big packets, send it (ZModem) once a day maybe, and pick up another bunch. Like real mail.
I did spend way too long reading & replying to messages (like now), but it really was limited to 1 or 2 hours a day. And then it was done. Inbox zero.
@whophd we failed when computers ceased to be constrained to the computer room
