I suspect one day we will be telling stories about the Free Internet nostalgically.
I'm already looking forward to telling stories nostalgically.
do you realise when I was young, (and I'm not that old now) there were no mobile phones.
During a day when you weren't at school you'd tell your parents that you were going out. you'd get on your bike and go, they had no way of knowing where you were going, no way of checking up on you, and the only rule was that you should be home before the street lights came on...
in today's world kids are in constant contact, and with video calls parents can even physically look at where their kids are, (instead of them saying yes, I'm at so and so's house"...
the free internet will be a thing of the past.
it's already the case that a lot of stuff that I used to look at that was genuinely interesting has gone! because it was of dubious legal nature. I visited a site yesterday looking at wiring schemes (trying to decide how to wire my new shed [ok perhaps I am old]) only to find that the site used to do stuff like that, but have had to take down any information relating to anything possibly dangerous because there may be some legal implications if someone kills themselves.
I'm really going to miss the free internet!
