Retro Video: when Internet was civil
I love the quote from playwright John Allen, who really understood how "Internet" could connect physically disparate affinity groups. John also says, "there's an interesting kind of restraint that you find. ...There's not a lot of put-downs... not screenfulls of 'go to hell.'" My how times of changed. These days anonymity and "Internet" are synonymous with flame wars and cyberbullying. One can only hope that recent pleas for civility on the web will get us back to these good ol' days of newsgroups and bulletin boards.
We'll keep an eye out for more retro videos and post them here.
