I definitely feel a sense of nostalgia using this site, as well. I don’t think we can ever get those memories back because they are just that: memories that are in the past. I know I personally long to return to the times when the internet was not used as a tool for controlling the masses.
But maybe we CAN start an awakening of sorts? Perhaps by abandoning the social media platforms that track us, mine and sell our data, and do countless other unscrupulous things, we can have a hope of taking control of our society that is being poisoned by social media, the media, politicians, etc.
Maybe then we could relive some of those memories again.
