The problem is that the internet IS some kid in a basement with an opinion.

I - I kind of agree with that.

In 1990, if I wanted a pair of Calvin Klein jeans I had seen in a magazine, I'd head to the mall, sift through piles of inventory to find my size, try them on, ask the opinion of the often inexperienced sales associate, wait in line to check out, pay, and head home. The process was linear and ripe for improvement.

It's almost like - a little bit like that Charlie Chaplin movie, Modern Times, or 1984, Orwell
