I rejoined Mastodon in 2022 and immediately loved it because it felt like the old Internet. As a direct result I have now bought an old Nokia dumb phone and am getting curious about ham radio. If this trend continues by 2026 I will be communicating exclusively in petroglyphs.

You exaggerate. USENET and telegraphs will add at least half a decade to that process.

@suetanvil @afewbugs I agree, the progression would be more like linotype press, standard press, gutenberg press, hand copied texts, scrolls and papyrus, pressed clay documents, then after many more years of progress, petroglyphs might start to show up.
