Date: June 26th, 2026 11:37 PM Author: TurboGrafx-67 Which is the objectively crazier progression to see in one lifetime? Personally I don't think internet is a huge deal vs TV only days. People were already looking at screens all day without the internet. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877718&forum_id=2),#49965036) |
Date: June 26th, 2026 11:40 PM Author: Ape Arrogance I don't think it was the internet itself that caused things to change significantly... I think at first it was just a cool way to find info and connect with randos... but once you bring in social media + having the internet in our pockets all day, that makes it a more dramatic shift than radio to movies/TV (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877718&forum_id=2),#49965039) |

Like me using myspace or facebook in 2005 is the Same Thing as this other shit or geocities to me. I call the 2010s shift that occured, "proles/Women using the internet," imo, and not, "Social Media." |

Date: June 27th, 2026 3:05 PM Author: Ape Arrogance bad take on the last part. early internet was extremely egalitarian. shit like nerdy listservs, IRC, geocities, livejournal, and Forums were enjoyed by Men, Women, and proles alike. it was more that the demographics shifted to kids and that the nature of the sites became completely different.

TV is pretty much just radio with visuals. Both are linear, non-interactive mediums for broadcasting entertainment and information. TV is a bigger time suck, but it's not that different, not in comparison to how completely different the internet is.
The internet is different in kind. It's interactive. It's global. You can be the star of the show. You can silo into whatever little corner of the internet (or web 1.0 chatbort) you want to.
Think of this hypothetical: how different is a society with radio from one with radio and TV? Now think of the difference adding the internet to the mix makes. |

Date: June 27th, 2026 3:05 PM Author: Taylor Swift is not a hobby she is a lifestyle (πΊπΈ π΅π±) It's the interactive aspect of the internet that makes it not even close.
A better q would be going from tv/movies to the internet vs. going from the internet to AI. I think the latter is more significant of a change by a country mile. |
