As people grew more familiar with the internet and its utility, they began to using it to mobilize for different causes — from the 9/11 hijackers to flashmob pranksters to activists, the internet put power in the hands of the people, for better and for worse.

When was the last time you felt good about the internet? Back in the day, the web gave power to the people, and going online could actually be fun. In LONG SHADOW, BREAKING THE INTERNET, host @vermontgmg.bsky.social retraces 30 years of web history to answer, “How did we get here?”

Long Shadow: Breaking the Internet Trailer (Season 4)

#LongShadow #podcast #americanhistory When was the last time you felt good about the internet? Today’s online landscape is a harrowing one. People screaming at each other on social media. Violent videos going viral. Cyberbullying, racism, misogyny. Back in the day, the web gave power to the people, and going online could actually be fun. In "Long Shadow: Breaking the Internet," host Garrett Graff retraces 30 years of web history — a tangle of GIFs, blogs, apps, and hashtags — to answer the bewildering question many ask when they go online today: “How did we get here?” It’s the story of mankind’s greatest invention, a tool that gave everyone access to all the world’s information and unlocked democracy across the globe. But "Long Shadow: Breaking the Internet" is also about the biggest crisis facing society today: how the web's unlimited feed of data morphed into a firehose of hoaxes, conspiracy theories, and lies that divided Americans over things we once agreed on, like science, diversity, and even democracy itself.
