Remember?

Remember when reaching the internet was an achievement?

Did we care more?

Have we stopped caring?

What if the internet were a person?

Oh dear, this sounds like you’re heading into a midlife crisis.

Promise me you won't do something stupid like buying a fancy sports car to feel better…

But, surely that must feel good.

Change is good, right?

You feel like all you get is small talk?
