I'm aging along and I can remember the "old" internet, including the wild-and-wooly IRC/BBS days. It was a much freer space and I'd love to see it regain its Wild West character.
I think there's a generational issue at work, however: the internet is no longer cool or subversive. For most folks under about 35, it's just another appliance.

Not wrong... But posted anyway, someone didn't see it.
