my ideal internet would be more like a set of concentric rings per user, a ring would represent different preferences, filters, and data, i could choose to include certain users access to parts of my rings, and i could access other parts of other user's rings. obviously there should be an open ring that every user can access which would need a search engine run by a company or set of companies, this would be like today's internet, but that would not be the same ring, i could switch between rings with ease. i think this maybe somewhat what tim berners lee is doing with the decentralized web, or perhaps bits of dark net interwoven with the internet.an example use case would be like a set of apps that my family could use for photo sharing, messaging, sending data, links to websites, etc. perhaps another set of apps for my friends, another for my company, or school. the protocols would not require public infrastructure, dns, etc. perhaps tethering of devices would be enough. there would be a need for indexing and search, email, etc.
