If one looks around the internet today, they will see a collection of garbage the scale of which humanity has never seen before.
Cat pictures, Facebook LIKE THIS buttons, Twitter, idiots who don't know how to use computers, etc. Third world people have also flooded the internet with their shenanigans. Non-Latin letters are also now being allowed for domains.
I would place the peak quality of the internet around 2002, when broadband was relatively prevalent but not common enough that every clown on the street had it. At that time there was a bare minimum technical knowledge needed to get online. Today, cell phone stores make sure you have internet access before you leave the store.
Originally the internet showed such promise as a "way of the future". Well, I would opine that the world would be better off if 90% of people did not have access to the internet.
