This is a interesting article that I found in a website that I always visit " Was the Web More Creative and Human 20 Years Ago?" link : Was the Web More Creative and Human 20 Years Ago? - Slashdot). I would like to see the opinions of some of you about this topic.
I don’t know what you mean, but if we think about the time described by the mentioned book I think it misses out without images, videos and definitely interaction.
I remember this Flash animations for example. Its only purpose seemed to be fun, maybe an exercise for the creator.

Thanks for answer Joe, nowadays more people use AI to consult, help or for anything. Many years ago people before used their brains to “Think” and to “Find a solution”. Everything now is automatic and AI, are we more to depend by ourself or are we going to depend by machines ? Some kids now are using AI to help with their homework, etc… Human Thinking is getting lost in this times just depending on machines ! People used to go to libraries to study, now everything is near your hand on the internet and we have AI too !
The next Carrington Event is going to be interesting for sure…

I think that I found another new related with this new, the title is “more interesting” (Lol) : Are We Living in a Golden Age of Stupidity? - Slashdot
I stopped watching TV several years ago because of the inane stupidity of the programming, let alone the advertisements. Those were worse.
The internet has multiplied that inane stupidity at least 10-fold, and includes the mechanism to self-perpetuate based on algorithms. Watch stupid crap, get more stupid crap offered up to you. At the very least, turn off their trackers.
We have a whole generation of young people who cannot think. They have to be told what to do and the bad thing is, sometimes they listen at the wrong times.

When I was a kid, I spent around half the summer in the mountains helping to herd sheep and cattle. No electricity. No phones, We lived in a tent and sometimes a sheep wagon. A wood-burning stove cooked our meals of mutton, sourdough biscuits, canned vegetables, and fish we caught when we had time. Our water was from a spring. I would spend the days exploring the forest and riding horses to keep track of where the livestock had wandered.
Life was good (except for the mutton). We wouldn’t have even known if a Carrington Event happened other than seeing the aurora.
