Anyone remember the 90s? There was this thing called the Information Superhighway, a kind of decentralised network of networks that was designed to allow robust communications without a single point of failure. I wonder what happened to that...?

Aren't we still communicating on HN, even though the possibly largest network is down? Can you send email?

We are a dying breed... A few days ago my daughter asked me "will you send me the file on Whatsapp or Discord?". I replied I will send an email. She went "oh, you mean on Gmail?" :-D

Hahaha... I can relate to that. Email is synonymous with Gmail now, something that only dads and uncles use. :-)

Somehow I gotta figure out how to get kiddos interested in networking...

Setting up a Minecraft server has been a good experience for my kiddo to learn more networking.

I am going to guess it’s one of those things the techies want to get round to, but in reality there is never any chance or will to do it.
