Is The Internet A Place?
from the getting-lost dept
A USA Today article questioning whether the internet is a place or not. There are a bunch of startups who are trying to get us to think about the internet as a place, and to help us get a better feel for this "place" are trying to create graphical representations of the internet. Of course, most attempts at doing so just make people feel really really lost. I think it's a nice idea, but it requires way too big a change in the way most people actually view and use the internet.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
