I remember getting excited about that modem connection noise. I knew that sound meant I was about to be online. It felt like stepping into something bigger. I was connecting with smart people, other geeks and nerds, pushing boundaries, learning, and doing cool stuff. (Ok, maybe it wasnt that cool)

Today, everyone’s connected, and the internet doesn’t feel like an exciting place to escape anymore.

I need to start seeking out those corners of the internet where geeks are having geeky conversations and building and creating things.

I’m going to admin, this image that chatGPT made, was so good, I’m going to have to come back and write more about this topic, just to make it worth the cycles it used to create it.
