+Would the Internet exist in [less retarded society](less_retarded_society.md)? Is it compatible with it? And if so, how different would it be?
+
+It's very clear the Internet as seen today was shaped by [capitalism](capitalism.md) and thus reflects its values such as [consumerism](consumerism.md), [censorship](censorship.md) ("[privacy](privacy.md)", "[security](security.md)"), wasteful [maximalism](bloat.md) (maximum bandwidth, maximum speed, ...), centralized control ([DNS](dns.md), content delivery networks, ...) etc. This is what would have to change in less retarded society whose values are mostly opposite: [minimalism](minimalism.md), [simplicity](kiss.md), non-commerce, absolute openness, slow life etc. In a better form the Internet is indeed completely compatible with ideal society, it is a tool that can be used for the good. Many of the above mentioned alternative and non-traditional ways of data exchange could be used to make Internet "less retarded".
+
+As always nothing can be predicted with certainty, but our Internet would likely be more diverse e.g. in protocols and media used for connecting computers which would depend on location: in some places radio and cables could be used, in other places data mules, light or sound could do better, and highly expensive and complicated methods like satellites would be reduced or eliminated. Computer wouldn't be *always online* like today, personal computers mostly wouldn't use wifis (though they could easily receive [radio broadcasts](world_broadcast.md)) -- common people would carry their personal computers along with the data they need, and would only connect to local Internet hubs if they need to send an email or download some additional data. Two way radio communication would potentially only be used to connect far away hubs if cables would be too expensive, and even so the transmission wouldn't likely be sustained 24/7, it could only happen for example once a day. As a result Internet would be slower, data from far away would be [cached](cache.md) in local hubs and Internet communities would be more local (in the spirit of [BBS](bbs.md) networks in the 80s and 90s), more self sufficient and more independent. Internet would blend together with all other networks and so for example [radio broadcasts](world_broadcast.md) would become part of it, enabling easier, further reaching and more efficient one way transmission of data about weather, news and so on. Instantaneous high-bandwidth communication, such as video calls, would be possible on shorter distances but challenging and sometimes impossible over large distances, but society wouldn't depend on them like it does today.
