Availability and immediacy, too. What does it mean when information becomes available to a broad swath of the population immediately after it comes into existence? For instance, we're already witnessing the effects of speedy dissemination of dis- and misinformation.

To put a finer point on one of yours, social media made very obvious the existence of violence against racial and ethnic minorities by law enforcement, among other social ills.

It's hard and slow work to gain populist support for socially progressive policy. We wouldn't be talking about this stuff were it not for the truths presented to us by the people it affects most profoundly.

Consumer ISPs don't always refresh IP addresses like that. I have had the same IP address on my home internet for years and was told that I would need to purchase a block of static IPs in order to recieve a new one.

Those poor Lighthouse scores are what you get when you put no work into refining your site's performance. This is especially true for an out-of-the-box Wordpress implementation. I have a React project with 100s across the board, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend a React implementation if high performance is key.

This doesn't even touch upon the topic of good developer performance, which is just as important as a set of Lighthouse scores. It's far easier to jump into an app with established build tools and documentation than it is to wade through a block of static HTML. Though if you're the only one working in your zen garden, have at it.
