Still thinking about the internet in relation to legacy culture systems

Like I liked the 2000s, when it was possible to combine being on the internet with being about in the world, it just meant putting your laptop in a specific stylish bag and going to 1 of maybe 4 coffeshops in range that basically used cheap urban rent for places for people without 9 to 5s to be on the internet all day

And Gawker was like a specifically Manhattan publishing industry blog because like with Slashdot and tech that’s who could keep going back to the same page at work to check for updates
