We Need To Rewild The Internet  | NOEMA

The internet has become an extractive and fragile monoculture. But we can revitalize it using lessons learned by ecologists.

This needs (IMO) more attention, seems to fit here…

    Looks like a great article. Thanks for posting it! :) I hope that we do ‘rewild’ the Internet, but I don’t know…I don’t have much faith that it’ll actually happen because of those who stand to keep raking in tons of money by keeping their monopolies/duopolies/etc and all the power they have. I hope I’m wrong!!

    I’m aging along and I can remember the “old” internet, including the wild-and-wooly IRC/BBS days. It was a much freer space and I’d love to see it regain its Wild West character.

    I think there’s a generational issue at work, however: the internet is no longer cool or subversive. For most folks under about 35, it’s just another appliance.
