The Validation Machines
The internet of old was a vibrant bazaar. It was noisy, chaotic, and offbeat. Every click brought you somewhere new, sometimes unpredictable, letting you uncover curiosities you hadn’t even known to look for. The internet of today, however, is a slick concierge. It speaks in soothing statements and offers a frictionless and flattering experience.
This has stripped us of something profoundly human: the joy of exploring and questioning. We’ve willingly become creatures of instant gratification.
