> I miss the optimism and simplicity of those times.

It seems like every generation (minus those who came of age in WWI/II) think this is true for them.

Is it really true, or are we just all reflecting back to when we were younger and the world was simpler because we understood less.

To be clear I was speaking specifically about the Internet/Web and not the world in general. I would say that there was a lot of optimism for the web back then, and it was definitely simpler.
