In this case, we are a little behind schedule, but working to rapidly catch up.
In the Cyberpunk TTRPG universe, the original internet (known as the Net) collapsed during a catastrophic event called the DataKrash, which occurred on June 3, 2022.

And the new net will be ID-gated for everyone. Everything said and done will be tracked and known to state actors.

honestly i’ve been slowly working towards that kinda lifestyle for a few years now and i kinda hope the “internet” fucking dies so i’m free to go all the way, it just seems like what things should be like if our recent development wasn’t so directed by corporate interests or just happened more slowly.
Old-timey life was really quite a lot better in many ways, like we’re just not evolved to constantly read about every single horrible event that happens to any human, and we need to be a little bit bored sometimes.
But also smartphones are fucking awesome and i like being able to call emergency services if i’ve fallen and i can’t get up, which even the actual amish recognize.
Also the aesthetics/vibes of judicious mixing of technological eras is fucking impeccable, i want the countryside to look like Hobbiton, small towns like 18th century sweden, cities to look like 1920’s new york with everything VIOLENTLY art deco, and all of it connected with trams and trains that look like metal caterpillars and where 30-minute departure frequency is seen as bordering on not even having service.
