We have lost it: P2P should have been the future of internet. Instead it devolved into the "connect to a server for everything" cloud system.

Internet should be like ZeroNet: a serverless system where content of interest is shared by its millions of viewers and where servers only use a small amount of bandwidth as backups and initial seeders.

That the wikipedia still needs servers and asks donations yearly to keep them online is a testament to how stalled progress in internet infrastructure is today.
