Ever Considered Going Back to a Text-Only Internet? Anyone Miss the Command Line Era?

The other day, I found myself reflecting on how far we've come from the early days when the only way to interact with a computer was through the command line. Nowadays, we have desktop environments, colorful and visually appealing applications, web apps, and social media. While it's impressive, I can't help but feel like the internet and computing in general have lost a bit of that 'wild west' charm.

There's something fascinating, even mysterious, about interacting purely through text. It feels raw, direct, and oddly stimulating in a way that's very different from today's user-friendly graphical interfaces.

So, I had this idea (though I haven't had the time to implement it yet due to work 😅): What if I stripped away all the modern graphical interfaces and returned to a fully command-line experience? Imagine surfing the web, talking to people, and interacting with the OS—all text-based, like the early days.

Has anyone else experienced this feeling? Do any of you have experience living in this old-school, text-only world? Would love to hear your thoughts.
