@hipsterelectron oh yeah I seem to have a tendency to take things very literally and also have the worst possible interpretation of what was said, so I was genuinely trying to find out what you meant to reassure myself you don't actually mean "rip out all the wires and only have small local networks from now on" lol

@hazelnot i think we truly can have better than what is expected of the modern internet. much of the hardware such as wiring isn't terribly specialized because the internet protocol is so complex it's very difficult to perform in hardware so is implemented in software by the operating system. this is an advantage for a successor network which is essentially on the same level as the internet until we get to the level of ethernet/coaxial/radio in which there is more fun innovation at hand for us.
