For the majority of people the internet used to be a room, a place you went and accessed a device.

The device wasn’t mobile, we usually didn’t carry around the thick laptops of the time around.

At first using the device would disconnect the phone, and you couldn’t carry it around easily.

As times changed and it’s mobility shifted it became more and more commercially viable and then it was invaded by corporate interests.

Now it’s not just a room, it’s everywhere and it’s allows all sorts of powerful groups to exert influence over every single person that connects with it
