This is the best summary I could come up with:


In Wired, Jason Parham writes about how first-gen social media users have nowhere to go.

Indeed, millennials have soured on the big social platforms: Facebook, Twitter, and even Instagram feel dead.

There's a lot of ways to feel about this: maybe relief, maybe anger at the companies who messed things up.

But Parham made me feel something different: sad.

He points out that "first-gen" users (like me) were part of a "golden age of connectivity," and for those years, it really was exciting.

I'm sad that golden age is over, and I'm not sure we'll ever experience anything like it again.
