... In truth, I wasn't ready.
Nobody was
We were ready for the internet. We were not ready for every person with a pulse being able to post to and read from the Internet. Web 1.0 was a beautiful uncharted frontier.
I believe this with all my heart. I wish the Internet had been able to evolve as WAN first for a few decades. Maybe then we might have been ready?
Isn't that literally what happened with ARPANET?
