Augmented Reality and the Attention Economy

None of them really ever gain mainstream traction because they're pure and appealing to people who understand the technology but they're not very fun and most people don't care./nHere's my argument. I like these directions but I don't think we actually need new technologies, new operating systems or new protocols to build a more human internet. I think the tools that have long existed are already sufficient to create a DIY human internet without needing new peer to peer native operating systems without needing blockchains or building DAOs./nWhat are these tools? Here's my vision of a more DIY human internet.
