Without Glue, Everything Falls Apart by Pace Smith


 * Title: Without Glue, Everything Falls Apart
 * Pace is visiting us from the future. "Welcome to 1993. Have a pile of wood"
 * Imagine you're back in 1993, this technology lets you type things in and then it appears on the web page. guestbooks!
 * With this same technology we could have built blogs
 * In the future... and it's all built on IndieWeb technologies
 * In the future: we never build the same thing twice, nobody gets betrayed, no more sexual predators, no more marketing, no more bad science, no more capitalism
 * "We never build the same thing twice" - reusable functions etc.
 * "IndieTrustWeb", just as website link to each other, we need people to be able to say "I trust you"
 * "No more sexual predators, we had Gamergate, #Metoo, and in the future we have GlassCupidor where people post transparently about their exes"
 * "No more marketing: IndieTrustWeb Goods and Services Recommender ITWGASR!"
 * No more bad science:
 * No more capitalism: IndieTrustWeb helps prevent fake news, "I trust you"
 * media has less influence
 * all of these problems get solved by IndieTrustWeb. This is the glue that holds the future internet together.
 * So thanks to us for creating it.
