Back when I came into the office every day, it was a 45-minute commute. At least one day every week, I had no active memory of getting from the north side of the beltway to my house (about 20-25 minutes). I’d reach this point, and it was like someone flipped a switch, and I became aware that I existed.
I’ve done this with Audio Books. I’ve listened to 2-3 chapters, and they’ll mention an assassin; Brain goes, wait, assassin? WHAT ASSASSIN? I start rolling back find out I completely tuned out 20 minutes of the story.
Funny thing is, Web 1.0 was mostly decentralized. Websites were hosted in locations all over the place. IRC and news groups ran across a ton of providers.
I really wish we would just shore up IPFS maybe work out of some kind of decentralized database solution, clean up centralized name service for it all.
