      We see the Internet all separately, because we're living through it, but centuries from now our descendants will label it with some catch-all, and compress the timeframe (as we do with 'printing press'....there were 70 years between Gutenberg and Luther, for example).

      Even with today's faster timescale, this means we're in the *way* early days of 'the Internet', only beginning to discern what it even means. Our Reformation and Thirty Years' War are still in the future, even if we think we know the likely plot (i.e. tribalism vs. globalism).

      Which is a long way of saying, we can obsess over the various issues of the day: 'fake news', FB/TWTR's reaction to misinformation campaigns, etc. But if the Internet is even only half as momentous as we think, the impact will be much bigger than some Russian election drama.

      We are living through a historical pivot that future schoolchildren (assuming there are schoolchildren) will study. Ironically, one of the casualties of Internet mind is the inability to think beyond the frantic eternal present, and contextualize our experience historically.

          Thus do we teeter on the knife's edge of the next FB or TWTR notification, and the next tragic news item, not realizing how the very medium that's become so pervasive as to be invisible has warped the very way we think about the world. More in my next @WIRED piece.

          I just realized I retweeted this thread before you finished composing the thread. You totally could've gone in a different direction and I would've been oblivious. Lol

          Love “the frantic eternal present.” We all now have IADHD ... internet attention-deficit hyperlink disorder.

          Hold on a minute. Let's talk about the alternative. Back before the internet mind--was there an ability, for whichever people matter in your comparison, to contextualize experience historically? If so, did it help practically?

          The last chapter of @CKlosterman’s “But What If We’re Wrong” also explores the concept of the Internet creating an eternal present:https://www.amazon.com/But-What-If-Were-Wrong/dp/0399184139 …

          Were we ever that much better at that than we are now? It's always been a niche talent at best, IMHO.
