I haven't written anything about the Internet Yellow Pages et al. . . .yet? Maybe someday. I'm probably not the best person to write about early internet usage given how out-of-the loop I am in the present day, but obviously not being the best person to write about x doesn't always stop me, so you never know.
this fantasy that there was, at a given moment, a way to know all of at least the accepted wisdom about some topic, and that while I can't know everything about anything at all in the present moment, I could at least get caught up to the past.
I feel you there! The problem is once you get comparably immersed in the past it turns out to be just as crowded as any present. Or maybe not a problem at all.
SOMEDAY I will get caught up on Buffy enough to be able to comment on technopagans. I missed it in its heyday but started watching last year because my four-year-old niece was/is a fan. I'm still in the early days and looking forward to lots of heartbreak, and I'm not sure what else.
