Topic: Goddamn I miss the old 1.0 internet

[zangetsu468]

@flame do you not need to read and answer emails on the go for work? That's the main reason I use iPhone, because work provides it for free. The only other apps I use are Whatsapp and YouTube. Although the razR was a fond memory I don't think I'd want to go back there personally.

As long as you can add Star Trek communicator sound effects to your flip phone they'll never go outta style

Haha, most people seem to dislike Tim and Eric, if not hate them outright.

I love some of their sketches, but I have to acknowledge that most people think they're crap.

nope. thank god.

also whatsapp is nice, but its also an excuse.  I had family over recently. brothers who live out of country. whenever a conversation ended at the dinner table, they were all glued to their phones on whatsapp.

its no better than being glued to facebook all the time.

I skype with them, and I have facebook. and I even have GASP, EMAIL, if they want to send me photos. why do I need to be a slave to a program that will have 95% of their attention when seated at the table?

this is the reason I forsook smartphones and dont want one. because ive realized they take up all your attention, even when you are with company. its downright rude, and its something that scares me about people today.

Funny enough, Deep web is pretty much Internet 1.0, Not that I recommend exploring (Don't)

I was suggested a video by Maddox as I was browsing youtube today. I immediately thought: Maddox? The crazy bastard who had "the best page in the universe", about as old as the internet?
So yeah, apparently that guy is a youtuber now.

I miss the old pre-memes, where you'll be taken to a page where it has Harrison ford saying "Get off my Plane" in a flash loop.
Good times.

I have done so and I have come across things I will never be able to unsee, but also other resources that were VERY helpful. Also used it to score weed before it became legal in my state.

So, you know. It's got some value.

But yeah. Creepy as shit place. The whole time you browse the deepweb/darknet, you feel like you're in the mansion from the first Resident Evil.

Kind of like the first time the 1.0 took you to a porn site, and you didn't realise it was laden with sleazy businessmen (zombies) and black market propaganda (Umbrella Corp)
