I have used what passes for the internet since 1974 and while crude by
todays standard, it was far more accessible even then, and it has gone
down hill ever since, with it getting much worse in the past 3-4 years to
the point I think maybe 1/2 or more of the internet is no longer
accessible...and I am dismayed that in ten more years little if anything
will remain usable without complex adaptive software/hardware
