A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The internet is a funny analogue!

Because it experienced the dot com crash under almost the same sort of circumstances.

Yeah thank God after the dot com crash, the Internet completely disappeared. That was a close one it almost destroyed society. Lol

The internet as the internet companies percieved it would look like and sold it as absolutely and completely vanished, yeah.

Not sure why you're equating "overhyped, expensive, and unreliable" with "this thing will never exist." Nobody is arguing that.

I'm not sure how anyone can miss the "TODAY" meaning currently which was my only argument.
