Paul Campbell On the Noisy Web

Paul Campbell, on vi.to:

It wasn’t necessarily better in the past. Videos were the size of postage stamps. Everything took a long time to load. Being able to jump into YouTube these days and learn anything about anything. That was just a dream in 1997. But when, oh when did it all get so noisy? There’s just so much noise. Noise in every sense.

This resonated. The web has changed and it doesn’t fit as it used to. Maybe those of us that experienced it since 90’s are getting old and just shouting at a cloud. Question is: should we push for the pendulum to return to a more boring web?
