I feel as though there isn't enough cats. This needs to be remedied immediately.

What bothers me as an old-timer is that the Internet is going from an open, distributed place where no one controls the content to a few walled gardens like Facebook. These walled gardens are replacing even personal web sites. A shame to see the Internet's strength being thrown away.

I want to knock technology back a few years. This social networking garbage is getting too pervasive. Feels like forums and personal websites are becoming a thing of the past.

A holographic computer screen would be cool, so I can see everything in true 3D.

Yeah, I miss the personal websites, along with fansites. It used to be that you could find a fansite for any movie or TV show that you loved, but these days the only thing most people do to show their love for their favorite shows/movies is create or like a facebook page for it.

I'd reduce some features, to make the internet more useful and less based on fads.
