Comment on Why do I have this weird reversed-"FOMO" feeling when I watch TV shows or Movies about Pre-Information-Era time period, like not as in "I miss the past", but actually as in "Okay this era is weird"?

Those of us in our 40-50s that helped build the thing you are having trouble imagining life without are more and more wishing they didn’t do it. We know the world before and after and yearn for the world we helped destroy. The WWW had so much potential, but like all good things it was shit on by corpo scum.

Yeah . We might be the first generation that’s objectively correct when we say things used to be better.

    We certainly still have the first three and Captain Brainworm is working hard to bring back all sorts of terrible diseases.
