I think the Internet will persist, but the public spaces on the Internet will ba treated like people treat the tabloid magazines at the grocery store checkout. Unused and largely ridiculed.
I expect invite-only microcommunities will thrive though.
You are right my friend. But i’m afraid that this might be at odds with annonimity online. These micro communities might look a lot like this, just more restrictive on the user registration side.
I can imagine that we may have a federated community of human verified forums. Where you have to go to the computer club at least once to get a forum account.
Anyways, the death of online truth and authenticity gives us a tremendous opportunity to reinvent what online contact should look like. But inevitably, it will be more outside and less online I think.
The Great Unpluggening!
