Indeed, it is time to write off the Web. I didn't like the Web anyway; I was happy back in 1991, with email, usenet, FTP, Archie, Gopher and Veronica. That was all we needed. The early Web looked interesting at first, but after a few years it became quickly overwhelmed by commercialism. The past years have even been worse, with the big-brotheresque webtracking of individuals and the erosion of online privacy. I wonder what will appear when the Web finally has become unusable.
