A closer look
The early internet was a vast wilderness, wild and adventurous, like wandering across uncharted valleys full of strangers and wonders. But slowly, doors have appeared—each garden fortified, each path controlled by a hand collecting tolls. Super apps may soon feel less like helpful cities and more like mini-states, where you follow their laws, consume their markets, and rarely slip outside the walls. It’s a future where curiosity risks being itemized, yet it reminds us of the powerful choice we still hold: to nurture open paths and places beyond the gates.
