Imagine living in a post Google internet.
Many of us remember time before Google, too.
I remember when Gmail was new and invite only.
Somehow, I doubt it'll be the same
My first foray on the internet was AltaVista, at a friends' pc with dialup connection. Still gives me a nostalgic feeling to think about that moment when the realization of all the opportunities kicked in.
Yeah I member.
The power vacuum would be insane, realistically speaking, Meta, Xitter, Amazon and Microsoft would race to fill it. It could be a good thing to split Google but it could also go sideways very quickly.
Those then as well shall be broken up :)
One can dream about that indeed!
All of those need some antitrust attention, too.
The best part of the trust busting hammer is it's re-useable.
