Original Text

My wife was at home in San Francisco and I was in Mexico City for work.

She told me to go look at the moon.

Being 2000 miles apart we could look at the same object at the same time.

The Internet used to be like that.

A shared experience - “did you see what was on the front page of Instagram?”

I miss that.

Now we are off in separate algorithms like the Tower of Babel.

Doesn’t it feel like without a shared experience it’s basically offline?
