Remember when the internet was a single, solitary, unmoving place instead of a terror that extends to everywhere and everything? You went to this specific spot to go to the internet and when you left the spot, you left the internet. The internet used to be a place.

@th3j35t3r this is why my greatest fear for the growth of the Internet is it will eventually be standard to have either an implant or an otherwise non-invasive device that connects to the Internet and augments reality for us. Humans are by natural evolution a very social species, but also very memetic, and I fear a massive collapse of societal growth will be imminent. Having the Internet on our phones has become a poison of privilege with a sense of necessity.
