This video touches on things I’ve written about here before in this blog post. But it adds some details I hadn’t known about too, which is always good.

I’m really coming to love all the new science videos coming out lately! There’s a complaint making the rounds…a perfectly legitimate complaint…that the Internet began as a library and now it’s degenerated into a shopping mall. It’s true enough, and the big commercial social media companies are largely to blame. I remember a time when the question everyone was asking about the Internet was how is anyone going to make money on this thing. Well now we know and it’s a tragedy. But websites and blogs like this one are still out there, and if you dig and are persistent you can find your way back to the library.
