What's a technology that was cooler in its older iterations?
I don't mean BETTER. That's a different conversation. I mean cooler.
An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors.
If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick.
That's just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.

The internet when it wasn't overtaken by a few major corporations.
What about taking it back?
I think it’s too late for that. It’s mainstream now and the sheeple are happy to be lead as long as they get to their mindless makeup tutorial.
I'm working on a decentralised "web", you can have your own website of "facebook" page, 1995 style, for example, all controlled by yourself.
You can do that bow, with Linux and Apache
True, but mine is decentralised, so no need for a registrar or a static IP or similar.
You can check it out here if you want to.
