I don’t mean BETTER. That’s a different conversation. I mean cooler.

An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors.

If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick.

That’s just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.

    What about taking it back?

      I think it’s too late for that. It’s mainstream now and the sheeple are happy to be lead as long as they get to their mindless makeup tutorial.

        I’m working on a decentralised “web”, you can have your own website of “facebook” page, 1995 style, for example, all controlled by yourself.

            True, but mine is decentralised, so no need for a registrar or a static IP or similar.

            You can check it out here if you want to.
