I was subtly speaking of the music industry trying to prevent the system that Napster brought into the table with the P2P sharing. Distributors try to avoid it at all costs by shutting it down but they failed. The original may not exist anymore but others like Emule or Soulseek remain intact after so many years. They had to give up with the streaming services...and they had a lot of power back then. Refusing to use technology because it would ruin their monopoly and that they wouldn´t become essential at delivering music to the masses.
> It always amuses me a little how everyone wants to invent new best standard/tool for many contemprary things, yet some things like IP stack, DNS etc. (standards from 1960s no less) are rock solid and untouchable.
that´s pretty funny. Those who think that they can become the new Einstein or historical person to cause an impact in this society are fools. Ambition is fine and one wants to achieve new objectives to what we have.
However, one has to go back to the old basics because that´s what we have in the end. The only thing that will matter is the recontextualization behind its remix.
Technology is stagnating pretty fast after the mobile phone bubble. Science...going back to the roots and the only innovative things that could come would be minor observations of specific things. The roots of everything have been studied and strongly solidified.
That mentality is how you detect actual plebs that know nothing.
