The Internet & Us

The Internet & Us is a playful and sometimes sarcastic look at how Singapore went from tech wallflower to the life of the digital party. Wind back to the late 80s and early 90s, when connecting to the internet sounded like a robot choking on a fishball, and "social networking" meant squeezing into sweaty internet cafes to battle pixelated monsters with strangers who became friends. Remember those messaging platforms that had us typing faster than aunties rushing for CNY sales? Back when keyboards sounded like tap-dancing competitions and "streaming" was what happened to your face in the equatorial heat. Fast forward to today, where we've graduated from "cannot lah" to "can A.I." with machines that never sleep and robots performing surgery with more precision than your mom cutting your fruit into perfect cubes. Peek into tomorrow, where the only thing evolving faster than our technology is the number of ways we can avoid human interaction. The internet is our destiny–this is that story.
