Getting to the root of it, I think the thing I miss the most about the old internet was the unstated assumption that the people on the other end of the wire were...people who shared similar interests and just wanted to connect.
I think of all the friends I made, the experiences I had that branched from IRC channels / forums / and even twitter in the later days.
Now the main question I find myself asking of anything that comes across my screen is "what is this trying to sell me?"
