Yes we miss it. The wild wild west, of early 2000s for me.

No you're not alone. No, it had nothing to do with age (the most patronizing retort tbh).

No it's not coming back, something else will have a reminscient feel of the freedom, exploration, hype and Witness to something realy exciting that computing did at the start. This event won't happen for quite a while.

We got to experience. The only options you have is to capture your experience in some media, books, film, spoken tradition, ect. Or keep the fond memories of the golden age in your mind, revisiting them to precent them from fading.

All the old haunts are gone and empty now, discarded like broken down robots on the scrap heap. All the promises were lies, tech has it's own purposes and it's lip service to our dreams is the same old lie from middle management.
