What have new generations been led into thinking that the internet is supposed to be? They dont even know what a directory is or what a file path is, because of design that dumbs things down...
It is important, because what people think the internet is and what they value will affect what it will evolve into.
E.g. wikipedia is reflects somehow my view of the internet in the 2000s (Encarta :D)...but for some people today the internet is just social media...or just videos?
BTW, does anybody know of an offline encyclopedia which works under Wine?
I liked those too.
The Internet for me was about finding texts about fandoms or anything interesting, roleplaying forums, chats and some browser games. Downloading MP3`s once in a while, downloading and printing Star Wars pics.
EDIT:
A kiosk with services.
I get all my information about dinosaurs from Dinosaur safari. Not sure about other topics.
