I can remember MySpace, which definitely ages me.

The dial-up sound and kind of sitting there crossing your fingers and hoping that it was going in the right, you know, that it was coming to a sort of a conclusion.

The Little Things

The Little Things
Jimmy Wales on why the internet is such an angry place

The Little Things
Jimmy Wales on why the internet is such an angry place

And I can't believe how often I'm referring back to it.

The Little Things
Jimmy Wales on why the internet is such an angry place

And that's when you talk about how we have to see what we have in common.

The Little Things
Jimmy Wales on why the internet is such an angry place

We don't necessarily have to.
