The Internet Apologizes

Thoughts while reading Noah Kulwin's Selectall piece in New York Magazine on April 13, 2018. Cover art by Joe Darrow. Why did everything go wrong? 1. Start with hippie intentions. 2. Mix in capitalism on steroids. 3. Arrival of Wall Streeters didn't help. 4. High price for free. 5. Everything was designed to be addictive. 6. At first, it works--almost too well. 7. No one from Silicon Valley was held accountable. 8. Social networks became toxic. 9. They invaded our privacy. 10. Then came 2016. 11. Employees are starting to revolt. 12. To fix it, we need a new business model. 13. Need some tough regulation. 14. Maybe nothing will change. 15. Unless some new people are in charge.
