#how the internet has changed the world

A Post-Internet World
I was watching The X-Files earlier. Season 1, which aired in 1993. It’s a fun show; and as a 90s boy (me being born in 1992), it took me back to that hazy world, where the music was different, the haircuts different, even the colour of the streets seemingly different.
The characters step into phone booths to make calls. They still have those televisions which are massive black boxes which flash with those black & white dots when not hooked on to a channel. They still read broadsheet newspapers. I’ll admit a nostalgia for the 1990s and TV shows from that pre-Sopranos age.
But it got me thinking about the main thing missing from the daily lives of people back then.
The internet. They don’t use the internet; it’s just not there … Which is surreal when you compare it to 2023, when all of us are constantly wired to the internet.
So it got me thinking about just how much the world wide web has altered the planet, since the era I mentioned above, when I was a child.
1993 is a convenient year, because this is when the first proper web browser was released to the public. Amazon and eBay were invented in 1995, and Google in 1998. Wikipedia was born in 2001. In 1993, 1% of information fed through global telecommunications networks was performed via the internet. In 2023, it is 100%.
What about TV shows? Well – you remember Blockbuster, right? The video store. That’s what you’d do on a Friday night, go and rent a VHS out to watch the X-Files. Well, Blockbuster declined heavily after the explosion of the internet, and closed its last store in Alaska in 2018.
The internet also killed Toys R Us, RadioShack, Virgin Megastores (in terms of high street shops, in the West), the Discovery Channel Store, Borders book shop, Hastings Entertainment, Dixons entertainment, Woolworths, Sears (which was once the world’s largest retailer) and GameStop, to name a few.
Furthermore, there are whole industries which have had to adapt to the WWW. Pre-internet, and up until the new millennium, almost all books were sold in bookstores, as physical copies. Today, 80% of books are sold online. Specific types of books are no longer bought on demand; such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, travel guides or maps – all of which are easier to access online.
Landlines … for your phone in your house. In the 1990s 9 in 10 of households used their landline phone as a main way of communication. Today it’s 9 in 10 with cellphones.
Journalism. From 2005 to 2021, over 2200 American print newspapers closed in the US; and from 2008 to 2020, the number of American newspaper journalists were cut by half. Similarly, in the UK, around 300 newspapers died away between 2009 and 2019.
The music industry. Is an obvious one, and among those most severely struck. Whilst the net made it far easier to pirate music, platforms such as Apple Music and Spotify removed the need for illegal listeners. The industry itself was among the most profitable in the 1990s. Within the last 20 years its revenue has been reduced by 50%, when taking all sources into account. CD sales reached their peak in the year 2000 in America (a figure of around 900 million). Since then sales have dropped 95%.
And, on a grander scale, we can’t ignore how the internet has altered how we socialise. We spend more time on the internet in our daily lives that we do via communicating with other people face to face.
It’s changed the way we read, and the amount that we read. People are far more likely to skim read articles on a screen and not read beyond the initial three or four paragraphs, especially if this requires clicking ‘next page’ to read on. Writers on the internet now write shorter sentences in order to hold reader attention span.
The internet has changed crime. Through cybercrime, as people find it easier to steal money from long distance locations whilst hiding their identities. It is estimated that over $600 billion is lost (or robbed) each year via cyber criminals.
It’s changed the way people date. People who use dating apps are more likely to have sex sooner in a relationship than those who meet in the ‘traditional’ way; and are more likely to date several people at once before choosing a specific individual. Moreover, it has made people less likely to commit, because with internet dating, they have far more options.
Most of this essay has been negative. One can’t deny that the internet has many positive sides to it too. With Healthcare, for instance: as people are able to communicate with their doctors without having to physically attend a GP, thus making it faster. And in terms of education – one can basically look up any information they please at any point. Rather than having to head to a library or school.
I use the internet all the time as well. Am no different. I suppose it just felt odd, watching the X-Files earlier, as it gave me that dose of what it was like in boyhood. There was Twin Peaks, as well, and Friends, you know, all of those classic 90s shows. I used to watch them on one of those gigantic televisions, which only had four channels.
In 1993, around 15 million people used the internet. Nowadays, over 4.66 billion people are online. That’s less than 1% of the world population in 93, to around 60% of the world population now.
I miss the 1990s. It was a great decade for things like television, and film, and music. Culture in general. The irony is that I no longer own a VHS player. And I was using a streaming site to watch the X-Files earlier. I should feel lucky to have experienced that last-decade-before-the-internet. To belong to the millennials generation.
What I do still have is a retro TV (with the black & white scrambly dots), and a Nintendo 64 and Playstation, oh – and a great collection of CDs. And they’re never getting chucked out, ever. Will keep them, always.

Thinking about a lot of things but mainly of how Terry Pratchett writes tiredness.
(Which means I’m mainly thinking of Sam Vimes. Which is normal.)
But he gets it so right.
The feeling behind your eyeballs. Stealing time from your future self with coffee, and, when the coffee doesn’t work anymore, going on sheer bloody mindedness because you cannot stop, you can’t. Not being sure when you last had real sleep. The strange state of mind you land in where you should absolutely not be tested because everything’s on a hair trigger, and things feel like they’re moving through treacle and your ability to make decisions feels shot to hell so you can only hope that you’re making the right choices.
Not Terry Pratchett’s words, if course, but I can’t get to my bookshelf at the moment, and, if I could, I’m not sure that I can read anymore.
I’m tired, is what I’m getting at.
And Terry Pratchett writes the whole spectrum of being human so brilliantly, but, damn, how he nails down being tired.
#gnu terry pratchett#sam vimes#Normally I would be hard put to name a favorite anything#but Sam Vimes is my favorite#I ought to get off the computer now#but I had to send an email#one of my co-workers has been leaving me post-it notes about how sleeping is needed and work is optional#and I apparently look as bad as I feel because my boss repeatedly asked if I'm okay and do I need to talk about anything#I need to stop#I had more thoughts#on how much the world has changed while I'm still in it; how I feel fundamentally unsuited here west of the sunset#how exhausting it is to be advertised to every waking minute; how I feel like a dinosaur about technology#(smart devices in particular - I'll be damned if I schedule my next platelet donation via Alexa)#but those are for another time#I'm going to bed#and getting up again a few hours#holy fudgecakes#also thoughts on how worrying internet purity culture is; how it feels like lip service to ideals#with no examination (self or otherwise) and no actual action taken towards change#but again that's for later

Happy 5th birthday to my dear OC, Sei ♥
#my art#illustration#original character#oc | seijaku#world | luxenvalice#sentimental rambling in the tags#my dearest girl!! light of my life!! the only reason i get out of bed sometimes!!!!#she was drawn earlier than Feb 14 2019 - but that is the date she was first posted to ToyHouse#and so that is the date she was probably truly solidified in my mind as an OC that was going to stay#Do you ever have an OC and don't realize how much of you - the creator - is in that OC?#realizing stupidly late that this is why it bothered me immensely when people took art involving her to repost#I still feel kinda gross posting personal art because of it but#that's why my watermark is a little more annoying now#Anyway it feels like a lifetime has passed from her starting off as a BNHA OC#Don't remember anymore why I made the conscious decision to watch the show when I always had and still have trouble starting/finishing medi#but while I don't keep up with it anymore - it did result in me creating her#first as a student character and then changing her immediately when I saw a certain villain loool#there was a lot more I was going to say down here but the internet has cut out#So for now I'll just end with...#thanks for your time if you read this 💕#and I look forward to doing more with this character in Genshin and other fandoms#and ofc the collab story she is involved in 😌

Does anyone know where I can find the good quality version of this image? It's so frustrating because when cross searching on google it'll tell me the original quality is 850x478, but I can't find a way to download it in that quality. This is another version of the image (I'm guessing it's Mayoi promo art):
But I liked the clean white background one...
#It's cute...#It's got Akutagawa stealing glances at Atsushi#Thought asking was worth a try ;;;;;;#Google cross image search has changed and as someone who used it as I use breathing it's been absolutely heartbreaking.#It makes cross searching images so much harder it's awful#Because before when you looked up an image it suggested you the best quality avaible of that image.#And the search got worse every year but it was still functional you know??#But now there's not that anymore. There's no “large” “medium” “small” and instead it only gives you “find image source”#Dude I don't want to find the image source. I've downloaded the image I KNOW the source. What I want is ANOTHER SOURCE with better quality#And I used to get it when I was 10 and I used to get it when I was 15 and I sued to get it when I was 20#And now I don't have it anymore?? It stripes away one of the most powerful search tools on the internet from the public????#It drives me insane. Like why does internet get worse every year that's not how humanity is supposed to work#Sorry. I needed to rant. This makes every quality-freak media archivist (like me) job harder beyond comparison#Btw if you're looking for an alternative Yandex images still does the work... It's not as powerful search engine as google#and it's often going to miss the particular hidden media (y'know- super niche Akutagawa merch from 2018 and stuff)#But for the rest it does a pretty good job. If anything there's still the best quality avaible option#But seriously looking up stuff for aktgw-daily has gotten so much harder ever since this fucked up change to google lens#and it makes me hate the world. I haven't been able to find a way to reverse it but if anyone more tech savy than me who has any idea-#what I'm talking about can help me. Please please hmu I'll be grateful forever#Sorry for the rant I have a lot of pent up rage over this. Stop making broke people's lives harder challenge#random rambles

I HATE how so many meaningful human interactions are now just “cringe”
Wanna be extra corny and romantic with your partner? Embarrassing. Wanna ask your neighbor if they’re feeling alright? Awkward. Wanna be yourself around your friends and act silly? Ew so weird. *pulls out phone and films you*
#I hate how cringe culture is leaking into the real world#The internet is absolutely changing how people socialize irl and sometimes the sheer lack of humanity it causes is terrifying#though tbh I think political extremism ans stress also has to do with it#eveyone you meet irl in america is a potentail ticking bomb and it causes even more social isolation imo

current mood: repeatedly banging my head into the wall because of animes that have Major Important Events happening over the span of decades before the "main story" even starts, but have NO ACTUAL OFFICIAL TIMELINE for when these Major Important Events ACTUALLY HAPPEN, forcing you to dive SO DEEP into reddit pages (and manga panels and anime screenshots and wiki pages and character data booklets) that you wind up with a master's degree in that anime JUST so you can piece together what MIGHT be a semi-viable timeline of historical events in the show that STILL has holes in it because the actual show decided "timeline? what timeline? we work on dramatic timing alone lol" was a reasonable organizational method.
if this seems very pointed and specific, it's BECAUSE IT IS.
#like. dont get me wrong i love this show and this world and this everything#but WHEN DID ANYTHING ACTUALLY HAPPEN.#we have a rough series of events but next to no details on how much time happened between them#which is NOT HELPFUL for someone who. say. is trying to put together a fix-it au based on changing some of those specific historical events#because that means that I AM THE ONE who has to put together a viable timeline that makes sense in MY head for everything to work#because i cant just work off vibes alone as much as i desperately want to. ive gotta have an actual timeline. Ive Gotta.#which leads to late night spirals down internet rabbit holes when i should be working on homework#catch me outside screaming into the void at midnight trying to make sense of when shit went down based on how old chars look in flashbacks#anyway.#catch me with a red string board after graduation trying to finally make this all make sense so i can finally write this brainrot au#this is the mkoverse tag

inch resting how i am such a nice, normal person up until the point where i get triggered by irl things that feel too much like being on tumblr, and then i lose my cool...
like (now, after a ton of therapy) im totally cool agreeing to disagree, or understanding that someone might have a different worldview but the same underlying beliefs as me, or understanding that the reaction they have to something might be different than mine but not fundamentally incompatible, and understanding that we are closer in our differing beliefs than either of us are to OTHER beliefs even when we disagree on the exact specifics of lefty progressive ideas... but then it gets to the gaslighting 'actually, the society has always been the way we're trying to change it to be, and this all makes perfect obvious sense as objective TRUTH, and you're the weird one if you think it's new or need an explanation because nothing has changed even though it OBVIOUSLY has' or 'actually these people believe [opposite of what they believe] and [deliberate misreading of what they believe]' and i black out 🙃
its a problem. it's an actual panic response or smth and i can't control myself very well when it happens. and also i don't like feeling compelled to censor my observations about the world around me, and i don't like watching others be asked to either. why can't people just acknowledge that they're asking for something new, and then defend it to people who find it confusing? If you can't defend something without lying and/or using emotional manipulation to get people to stop asking, then maybe you need to think it through more??? or at least accept that it's not THE objective truth?
i regularly find myself begging my therapist to tell me if what im saying is a 'normal people' belief or not because my perspective is so, SO skewed from being terminally On Tumblr for 12 years. i used to believe crazy shit, even when i didn't believe it anymore. imagine my shock when i learned that many of the absolute no-nos on this webbed site do not even register as anything to average progressive joe. that many of the strict, important social rules on here are seen as crazy as fuck by people who vote progressive, hold progressive values, but aren't in these no-nuance no-debate no-disagreement echo chambers? god it's confusing.
the world is so much more complicated than anyone wants to admit, it seems...
#i got mental health acted once and the psychiatrist they made me talk to asked where online i spent a lot of time and i said tumblr#and i shit you not she said 'yikes. thats not good.'#like i think the whole internet has been discourse-ified but my god did being on tumblr fuck me up. i know i say that over and over but#ive been actively trying to heal from it for YEARS now and im still struggling!!! and still so easily triggered about it!!! im never free.#i think there just IS an inherent element of compelled belief or requirement to rewrite history to be more convenient in certain circles...#and it doesn't sit well with me in general but the cognitive dissonance i lived with for so long makes it much much worse#because now i'm mentally free but very aware of how much i am being forced to not just be polite (which i'm more than happy to do)#but to actually agree that its true when i have my own beliefs and perspective on the world#and to pretend i don't see things that are happening right in front of my eyes. to pretend nothing has changed. to define MYSELF that way.

((you know, microwave ovens are a miracle when you think about it))
#OOC#Think about it like#What if I told someone at 1960#There was a device#which can reheat your food#after you stored them in the ice box for long periods of time#And it doesn't involve defrosting them in an open fire#It was such a gamechanger and people might think it would end world hunger#Like you can not not only store more food#It would also save so much time and make things edible too#That kind of thing would be mindblowing back then#Of course we're taking it for granted right now but during that year I bet it would be called the miracle device#Just like how the internet has changed everything#It's really crazy to think about when you think about it#either that or I'm drunk on tea AJLSGHJASLGA T__T

I've been havin' dreams
Jumpin' on a trampoline
Flippin' in the air
I never land, just float there
As I'm lookin' up
Suddenly the sky erupts
Flames alight the trees, spread to fallin' leaves
Now they're right upon me
You ever get haunted by a visual? Because I’m always thinking about Iruka during the Kurama incident.
#kurama#kyubi#iruka umino#(yes iruka is the tiny figure in the middle)#naruto#mine#my art#< this tag is never gonna be useful to me but anyway#this is like. the second time in my life that i post something i drew on the internet#i'm very much Not an artist i just have trouble focusing in class#and instead i draw on the preview app bc idk it helps#ANYWAY i just get a lot of emotions thinking about how iruka lived that night and remembers it#and like. i'm a little fascinated about the 'little boy vs beast of legends wrecking his home' of it all#like iruka is TEN. he's never seen the war and he only knows it through what his parents tell him. or other shinobi. or kids at school#and he's not a genius either so he probably has a quite sheltered life#and in just one night his entire world changes and suddenly War and Danger and Death become very real concepts#obviously it would be traumatizing for anybody but there's such subtlety in the way he remembers it and the ptsd associated with it#the focus on the fox's eye. the way he re-experiences the scenes.#everything is sooo. i can't explain it but it's so imprinted in my mind#anyway i'm sorry about the lame song choice (which i can't listen to without thinking about this) and i'm sorry about the lame drawing#please don't look at the number of teeth too closely.#please don't look at ANYTHING too closely kgfhjfghk#i don't even know why i'm sharing this i guess i like the concept itself#also i really really really love kurama's aesthetic

just came up with a new social media site called evil instagram where everything is the same but the filters make you look worse on purpose
#evil instagram#thats so funny to me. evilgram#evilgram will randomly select pictures from your camera roll and post them automatically and you cant delete them#you also cannot change your username. but sometimes evilgram staff will change your username for you.#being mean is encouraged#if you block or unfollow someone then evilgram will send the person a dm about how much you hate them#like if u just unfollow someone bc ur not really talking anymore and you want to be lowkey about it?#no because evilgram is going to tell the entire world#evilgram does not condone racism/sexism/transphobia/homophobia/general bigotry#and if someone does get found out to be a bigot like that. they are permanently suspended#wiped off the face of the internet maybe.#if you pay the staff (me and only me) enough money you can delete the account of your choice#my goal is for this to be as pvp enabling as possible#evilgram has different themes like tumblr themes but theyre incredibly ugly. the most popular theme is the shrek theme#chanposting

I will not lie I cried three times watching Mr.Harrigan's Phone. That being said when I went to review it on letterboxd I did not expect such low ratings and a lot of people were saying it was bad cause it was anti-technology but that is not what I got from this movie At All so I'm wondering if maybe I'm not processing this movie right cause I'm too hung up on the death scenes or if everybody else is just bad at analyzing this movie.
#jelly.txt#okay spoilers up ahead if you're planning on watching but anyway. i've never read the original story so i don't really know how#stephen king originally meant it to come off as but personally in the movie i saw it less as anti-technology and more as a#'be careful what you wish for' type story. like sure there are some scenes where the voice-over describes how mobile phones#have caused corps to get greedy and put valuable info behind paywalls and has changed the way we socialize with each other#whether for better or for worse (but mostly worse) but it's like. it's not anti-tech to say the internet is wasted potential#not once in the movie did they ever say 'phones bad! old stuff good!'. what they DID say though is that all the information of the world#being at your fingertips makes way for misinformation. and that the knowledge that can be found in a book can outlast technology#and it's not wrong!! it's not wrong to say that information that is made with technology will not last forever!! this is true!!#there's still plenty of people in the world who rely on or prefer physical things over digital!! that is not anti-tech!!#this movie is about a haunted fucking phone you guys. haunted. phone. remember that. and then read the letterboxd reviews
