<human>: Is it true that the internet was supposed to be a place where people could share information and not make money?
<bot>: That’s right. In the early days of the internet, there were many different visions about what it would become. One vision was that it would be a place where people could share information and ideas without any cost or restriction. Another vision was that it would be a place for commerce and business transactions. The first vision is closer to the original purpose of the internet, while the second vision is more like how the internet has turned out today.
