we have none of the cool aspects of cyberpunk but all of the bad ones.
well, we have pills to change gender, pills to talk to God, we can immediately reach out to most humans in the world without moving, and we have a lot of fascists to kill
That window has been closing since 2008. We interact with who we're supposed to interact with. The chances of me hearing the plight of a third world farmer directly from his mouth is slim to none.
Periscope solved that quite well by showing a world map with everybody currently livestreaming. So you could just hop between countries and continents and see what others were doing. Wasn't profitable enough or something, so Twitter killed it.
Shame, sounds like it was a good idea
