How do you guys remember the early days of the internet? What do you miss about it?
I miss written tutorials. I hate how every tutorial is a YouTube now. I don’t want to watch 15 minutes and forget to pay attention for the second that has the detail that I am missing or it doesn’t show. I want to skim a page and go directly to the point. Has writing really become that hard to do?
@bstix That's the wrong question. Putting tutorials online instead of providing printed tutorials is one of the ways organizations cut corners and cut costs. Now, watch people normalize their experience by responding to you, "YouTube provides transcripts!" And they do (go to a video, click the three dots icon under video on right, see "Show Transcript" link) but a transcript isn't usually written by a professional tech writer.
