In their paper "The Computer as a Communication Device," Licklider and Taylor imagined computers as tools that would enable rich, decentralized communication across a global network, allowing individuals to collaborate freely. Usenet fulfills many
aspects of this vision by creating a platform where users from around the world can share information without relying on centralized authorities. The group-based discussion format reflects their idea of networked communities exchanging ideas
asynchronously, fostering a participatory culture.
However, their vision also included more real-time, interactive collaboration, which differs from Usenet’s more delayed, text-based interactions. Furthermore, modern social networks have centralized much of the communication that Licklider and Taylor
envisioned as decentralized, creating large corporate-controlled platforms.
While Usenet remains a decentralized space, it no longer holds the prominence it once had, and the rise of more centralized forms of communication has led to a different evolution from what was originally imagined.
