I remember when web pages were text, with a few graphic icons. There was a small amount of pages with a few nekkid pictures, but mostly you could find free information on a usefull topic a person at some university or govt site felt like posting.

Now any google search gives you 10 pages of p0rn, 10 pages of advertisments, 10 homepages of commercial sites with links that don't work, and a search for a scientific topic gives you a title and how much you can pay for an article reprint.

Someone should mod the internet into SE4. A culture reaches a certain tech level in computer science and production and research grind to a halt
