Ask HN: Internet was the coolest thing in the past, but what about now?

Before internet gave me some thrill. There were so many things to explore, services to build, strangers to talk and so on. Today, however, I feel that internet is a bit bloated. Many apps, too much influence of tech giants (google, fb) and so on. I wonder what's the coolest thing out there, not yet mature, but that gives this thrill of possibilities. I wonder whether it's internet of things that will change how things work. Imagine a change from filling forms on websites to be based on our behavior instead. I used to think that blockchain could be this source of possibilities, but it's a very controversial topic. I would love to hear your opinions. Thank you in advance, Anderson.



I'd love to hear the same from people; the internet at an earlier point in it's life had an air of optimism about it - and certainly freedom (probably drawing from less of an obligation to use it for work, school, etc) that it no longer has.
