Anil Dash from The Web We Lost:
The tech industry and its press have treated the rise of billion-scale social networks and ubiquitous smartphone apps as an unadulterated win for regular people, a triumph of usability and empowerment. They seldom talk about what we’ve lost along the way in this transition, and I find that younger folks may not even know how the web used to be.
I look forward to a time when more people can move away from proprietary and restrictive networks like Facebook and make the web more open again.
