Nostalgia has come to the Internet, and it is too little, too late. Nostalgia is not what defines the future. Sub-10 year-olds won’t give a damn about the nostalgia-Internet.

They know what they are doing, even though still in early teens.

For them, it will be something new, something different. Just like it was for us.
