    The Internet felt like a brand spanking new wild West back in the 90s like there was so much to discover and explore. You don’t understand the novelty of having all the information at your fingertips immediately. What was that actor’s name in that movie that one time? What was the name of that song with those lyrics? Missed last week’s episode, used to just hope you can catch it on summer reruns, but with internet you could look up whatever you missed.

    Lenny right now feels like a wal mart brand replacement for something you had a long time that just broke and you’re still trying to find a long term replacement. It’s got some of the features, a fraction of the content, a bunch of new words to learn, and a lot more bugs, so who knows. It’s just a message board at the end of the day so I’m not sure if it brings anything new to the table like 90’s internet did.
