I fully admit that it truly could just be that my expectations are too early. And some of that comes from what I hear people saying versus what my actual experience shows me. I think there's a lot of cope preventing reality from being faced fully, which likely slows things down and could lead to centralized services winning out. Maybe that's natural for emerging tech. This is the first time I'm living through something so radical. I remember pre-smart phone days but even that isn't the same.
