Room for one more?

Apparently there's only so much space inside the internet.


I know, it came as a shock to me too. I always thought the internet was this infinite, boundless realm where cat memes and conspiracy theories roamed free. But, according to my well-informed source (who wishes to remain anonymous because they're not supposed to be sharing this information), the internet is actually more like a crowded attic.


"It's like we've crammed all our junk up there," they whispered conspiratorially. "Old emails, forgotten websites, those embarrassing photos from when you were twelve... it's all taking up space. And the problem is, we keep adding more. New apps, streaming services, cryptocurrencies... the internet is groaning under the weight of it all."


I must admit, this revelation gave me pause. Could it be true? Are we running out of room on the world wide web? It seems implausible, given that the internet is not a physical entity, but rather a vast network of interconnected computers. But then again, I'm no tech expert.


Perhaps the real issue is not the amount of space, but the way we're using it. Think of it like a cluttered desk. If you keep piling papers and post-it notes on top of each other, eventually you'll lose track of what's important. The same could be said for the internet. With the constant influx of new content and services, it's becoming harder to find the signal amidst all the noise.


So, what's the solution? Do we need to start deleting old emails and photos to make room for the latest viral trends? Or do we need to be more mindful of how we use this precious digital real estate? Maybe it's time to Marie Kondo our online lives and only keep the things that spark joy (or at least, the things that are useful).


In the end, I'm not sure if we're truly running out of space on the internet. But it's definitely food for thought. And in the meantime, I'll be over here, carefully curating YorkGen in its, admittedly, very early stages - trying to leave a little room for others.


Because in this crowded digital world, we could all use a little more breathing room.
