Wishes

I wish the internet had semi-fizzled. I wish, like the commentariat confidently declared in the mid-90s, that it had just been a fad. Now, 40 or 50 million people in the US would be using it, scientists and researchers would still be there, but we would not have to endure Facebook and the like.

If the normals had not dropped in, much would be better than now. Once the normals invade, all is lost.
