Finding those gems I described above have become harder than it used to (in my personal opinion) > less corruption I very much disagree that there’s less corruption now the web has taken off. Or at least if there is, I disagree it’s directly related to stuff getting published on the web. > email and IM connecting people around the world like never before Email and IM have existed long before the web (decades before in emails case), nevermind being available around the period of the early web that we were talking about. > just focusing on negatives like fab, Twitter, etc creates a very one dimensional picture I totally agree. The reason it was written that as was because I wanted to offer a counterbalance to the previous post rather than a balanced and impartial commentary. However you’re right that the reality is somewhere between the two arguments. > I actually thing that’s a bad thing I think you’ve completely misunderstood my point because you’re arguing the same point I made with using language that suggests I was opposed to those points you’re making. Also you seem to be confusing “web” with “internet” in some of your previous remarks and also suggesting I’m totally against the web in its entirety; neither of those points are true (in fact I’m very much pro-web) |
