The death of the internet: why the future is terrifying, and how we fix it
- Misinformation, marketing, and filters from algorithmic posts are endangering the internet. Tech companies are notoriously slicing features and costs in their services as their market caps grow, which is impacting an average user’s experience.
- Educational tools and access to information are being affected as well. TikTok and YouTube are muddying facts from falsehoods, resulting in a loss of understanding real and accurate information.
- Social media platforms offer curated content, and it's becoming increasingly hard to find a non-curated feed system. This stifles a creative discussion, and people do not challenge opinions.
- We’ve seen AI-generated articles, scores of memes, and monopolization of segments of the internet. But there’s still hope. The world wide web induced many scientific breakthroughs that we don't hear about.
- To improve the cesspool that the internet now resembles will require a global effort. A prompt and collective effort is needed to create a sort of JEDEC or USB forum for the internet that has teeth.
- Adults must learn critical skills to fact-check, identify fake posts and the legality behind posting online. It will be challenging, but it has been done before, and it can be done again for the digital world.
