Oh, hi stranger! You finally woke up. It’s 2004. Life is peaceful and comfy. We’ve got no plans today but playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 on the PS2. I bet you’re gonna lose - I was grinding all summer. Grab a pad, sit down. The pizza delivery guy is already on his way.

I'm sure you're pretty confused what happened.

The Internet today is toxic and overly complicated. Somewhere along the line, we lost the real point of it.

This is the Internet I remember. The Internet that gives me chills. The Internet I was born into and grew up with. The Internet that felt like home for such a long time. Back when hanging out online and building communities was fun - before it turned into a commercialized bullshit where algorithms chew us up.

It used to be simple and fun. It used to be personal, where our weird little tastes and hobbies actually mattered. I miss that place. I miss it as fuck.

Make Internet Fun (and Human) Again

—————————————

1. Websites are public places - social environments.

2. They should be personal and customized.

3. Websites are cultural heritage, documenting a specific moment and reality.

4. Websites should be built to last.

5. Content is king.

6. The Internet should be fast, easy to digest and accessible.

7. The Internet should be fun. We need to bring the fun back.
