The internet has become very easy to use, very. Except the ease is all in being fed answers, not in doing what we want for ourselves.

At the same time it has never been so unsafe tho it was always a bit unsafe. Stormfront has had a presence since the mid 1990s. The mormons put net nannies on member’s computers so people couldn’t search for independent information. etc

Search engines were pretty accurate and useful tho.

Newspapers and tv didn’t have a presence yet.

It was easy to set up a chat board, you could just get ubuntu skins and go with a provider.
