The thing is...
I think a lot of people will potentially be lost to this IQ 70 brain drain that is the future of commercialized internet...
I really cringe to even call what they have planned the "internet" because that's just not how I view it.
I think they will peddle a product to people which will ONLY be their selection of 'approved' apps...
Social media as we know it, the sites that popularized it, I think they'll die out.
Nevertheless, they may try to carry the concept into a new (yet, doomed) frontier.
They may try to get people to use devices, maybe tablets or phones, maybe made by Google or something...
And these tablets may only be able to access certain apps, and no ACTUAL web pages. No ACTUAL websites.
I imagine such devices would have to be offered to the public at very cheap prices.
Then there's also the TV route they wanna take. It'd be easy to make TVs only able to access approved apps.
That's the only way I see them successfully pulling it off... and even then I think they would fail.
The future I see is a rejection of smart devices (I know it sounds like the most unlikely thing in the world from this standpoint, but look, it can happen) and a rejection of the ENTIRE CONCEPT behind social media and ANYTHING overly commercialized.
I see a return to old ways, brought about by a genuine and deep fatigue surrounding 'smart' everything.
