## Caption

The internet is 23 years old. And it’s acting exactly like a 23-year-old.

Restless. Burnt out. Hyper-online but craving real connection.
Swinging between idealism and exhaustion.
Questioning everything it used to believe.

We’ve spent years blaming platforms for the chaos.
But what if the behavior isn’t a glitch?

What if this is developmental psychology playing out at internet scale?

We mapped the history of the social web to human growth stages: infancy, childhood, adolescence, emerging adulthood.

And suddenly every cultural whiplash makes sense:

- the pile-ons
- the moral purism
- the burnout
- the retreat to group chats
- the AI self-reflection
- the collective “what now?”

The internet isn’t collapsing.
It’s growing up.

And the next stage is far more optimistic than people think.

It might change how you interpret every platform moment happening now and reshape how you think about where we’re headed next.
