Extrapolating forward a quarter-century from this piece is…a ride. I can’t help but think that via social media, all this personal expression got “managed” on the Web the way it did in the cubicle.
Related: I love that entire books exist as Web sites, and not just in the “here’s an entire .txt file” way Project Gutenberg does it (though I appreciate that too).
Edit: Thinking on this a bit further, I love how there’s something subversive built into the Web by its nature. Corporatization/management of people’s use of the Web can only go so far, because the tools to build one’s own worlds on it are freely available. The opportunity to step out of the digital cubicle is always there. The corporate Web is built on the tools of its own undoing.
(Can you tell I’m a deconstructionist at heart?)
