Imagining if trusted computing became legally enshrined and windows was the gateway to the internet. Would keep my use of it to a minimum, perhaps to fulfill work obligations, do taxes, pay bills, etc. and save anything that didn’t need the internet for another machine running Linux. I’d also consequently make much greater use of my hoarded media and ebooks.
In that case wouldn’t we just make local networks with our family, and then maybe neighbors. Just have a network that’s not connected to the Internet but still connected to each other. I think we’d just have couple of programming tools, make things, and still use computers, but just the way it was in the beginning, and with everyone making their own things.
Maybe there’d be people using long distance communication protocols to make something that is not the current Internet. Unless that becomes illegal. But can radio waves be illegal? We just need to transmit data somehow
