Old #photography from around the old #redondobeach 'Old Salt Lake' near the turn of the 20th century.

Prior to the Old Salt Lake being commercially exploited for a significant portion of early California's salt, it was a sacred place for the native Chowinga people for halibut, lobster, sea bass, and salt.

The Chowinga Villiage site near what is now Malaga Cove in #PalosVerdes had been inhabited for ~7,100 years until about 1775.

Whatever changes are to come, I hope its past is honored.

Perhaps the social media landscape, and more broadly, the technological one, has become over-watered to the point of experiencing root rot. Maybe a good pruning is what's happening, and new buds may flourish.

#Technology can be democratized and used to its intended purpose of making lives better, or it can be exploited by forces of opportunism and greed for authoritarian control. Maybe we are seeing the process of the latter fail in favor of the former?
