That’s a interesting analysis
The webs transition from nomadism to feudalism
The internet has changed and is, for most people, a social media access point and not much more.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Web search is pretty much broken, so unless you already know where you’re going you won’t be able to find anything with real depth. Social media is the easy distraction.

Yep. I remember when the home computer was first becoming a thing. At that time the business mainframe was the only real computer you’d likely find within driving distance and only if you lived near a big city. They were enormously expensive, and required speacial cooling systems. Memory was on tape drives, or the new-fangled disk drives the size of dinner plates, a stack of five of which held a whole MEGAbyte!
The notion was that anyone with their very own computer was clearly going to do some serious data-crunching, and thus solve real problems and become a freaking genuis (obviously) in the process. The first thing I did with a Timex Sinclare was draw pictures (gometric shapes). It was all command prompt input of course.
In the 1980s, when I showed a new MIDI interfaced keyboard to a university music professor who doubled as a “computer science” teacher, he said; “Why whould anyone want to connect a musical instrument to a computer?” Ah, universities.
Now of course a computer is mostly a communication I/O and storage device. CAD is really, really great though.
