One thing I always loved in any old sci-fi that dealt with internet-like spaces was that most of them had a concept of a public internet. They generally sort of felt like the "slums" of the internet filled with trash and spam and stashes for hackers, but the concept of a public space to which anyone could post anything always appealed to me. I'm quite sad that we don't have something like this.

We've had plenty of things that had that general appeal, but they've always been owned, run, and eventually shut down, but companies of some sort. I'm not opposed to companies having websites, but I'd love to see a public space as well. The idea that we could post our content to that space and expect it to live far longer than us would be a huge deal.
