Hito Steyerl Hito Steyerl talks here about a mental or spiritual death that the internet undergoes. In fact, the internet (when introduced in 1983) was this very new and innovative thing, now it is just something mainstream that is part of our daily life. I would say that it lost it's magic. Internet used to be a place to achieve knowledge and was supposed to stay a very practical way of getting informations or communicat. However, it is now a business that is governed by overpowered corporations that abuse it's power in order to make a propaganda use out of it. Is the Internet dead ? No, it did not die, but it lost its life.
