It was fun while it lasted.

For me the high point was Fark or maybe Homestar and the low point was obviosuly Facebook... or maybe the end of Democracy.

The Internet is a mere 23 PiB according to the graphic. These days you can fit that on just a few racks.

I remember this used to be www.wwwdotcom.com but it seems the internet lasted longer than that page did.

more or less correct. after that, it's all rehashes of the same material as memes and social nonsense. It's all services, no content

What year do we predict internet.zip would be downloadable in say one day.

I remember back in the days the HTTP proxy of Sun Microsystems used to have a similar page when something went wrong. Always tried to find it again, but failed.

Why was it the end of the internet?

wizardforhireyesterday at 10:35 PM

I was hoping for more… maybe some ending cuts scenes, some recaps of adventures, maybe some cameos from developers… this just seems lazy and like my time/life was a wasted effort…

I remember when this was new and it was still possible to conceive of the internet as finite. Simpler times. Is it possible to view the internet as finite these days? Is it actually possible to turn out the lights (touch grass) these days?
