Cartoonist asks whether the internet has become unusable

Original: Is the internet finally unusable? Time to go back to faxes and landlines | First Dog on the Moon

The Guardian has published a First Dog on the Moon cartoon riffing on the idea that the internet has become so cluttered with ads, bots and junk that going back to faxes and landlines might be preferable. The piece uses satire to voice a frustration many readers share: that everyday online life increasingly feels harder to navigate than it used to be.

Why now: Growing public frustration with ads, spam and declining quality of the online experience is a recurring talking point.
