Whatever Web 1.0 might’ve lacked in user-friendliness and design sensibility, it more than made up for by its fostering of experimentation and originality of expression, and by its emphasis on the creative primacy of the individual.
Edward Snowden, “Permanent Record”
Edward Snowden on Web 1.0
Jack
Enjoys making film photographs and tinkering on the web. Owned a digital studio for 25 years. Now what?
I have mixed feelings about Snowden, but that quote nails what made the original web interesting and fun.
I still find fun, creative things on today’s web, but I have to wade through much more, er, _not_ fun stuff to get there.
