We’re constantly reading about how the internet is shocked! Worried! Stunned! In meltdown! Broken!
How did it get to be so fragile? How is it contantly is such a fragile state? How does it recover day after day?
Who is the internet? Who decides how it feels? Why do we talk about it as though it were just one person?
I read these headlines of shock and concern and being broken all the time. We all do. I thought I’d collect a few over a couple weeks. Just the ones I remember to screenshot.
The poor internet.
When will we stop treating it so? Just let it recover for a bit?
