If the web develops the way it does now we will have 3 distinct zones.

1. The commercial web

DRM filled, fueled with advertisement and tracking. Essentially low quality amusement.

2. The dark/deep web

TOR, activism, privacy, illegal+legal anonymous trades

3. Bunch of retro people running BBS'es, peddling e-zins and demos.

The web as we know it from the 90s - content first.

I miss the old web, can we take a shortcut to #3 faster?

@mulander I miss the federated nature of the old web. Well, when I say "miss" I couldnt possibly, Im not old enough to miss it but I can appreciate what it must have been like.
