Wanted to ask you about this article, how do you remember the early days of the internet (I was sadly too young at that time). Do you wish it back? And do you think it can ever be like that again? I would be very interested

    There was this one program I used a lot back in the day; I’m pretty sure it was called Virtual Places.

    Basically it was a browser that turned any web page into a chat room, and you could chat with anybody browsing the same page. Everybody would have these little square avatars; mine was an eyeball. And you could get a bunch of people on this little “bus” that somebody could “drive” and all move to a different web site together.

      Oh. My god. Why did I never know about that. That would have been incredible. I feel honestly robbed now T_T
