Comment on The Toilet Theory of the Internet: Google is serving an audience that wants quick and easy results. That may lead to disaster.

E.g. wikipedia is reflects somehow my view of the internet in the 2000s (Encarta :D)…but for some people today the internet is just social media…or just videos?

BTW, does anybody know of an offline encyclopedia which works under Wine?

I liked those too.

The Internet for me was about finding texts about fandoms or anything interesting, roleplaying forums, chats and some browser games. Downloading MP3`s once in a while, downloading and printing Star Wars pics.

  I know, I meant something interactive from that time, complete and consistent. Like Encarta.

    I’m still consulting my venerable encyclopaedia britannica dvd until this day. It works great under wine and actually does not work under a current version of windows anymore.

I get all my information about dinosaurs from Dinosaur safari. Not sure about other topics.
