The question is too open-ended. There are many proposed alternatives to what we have now, and &quot;internet&quot; itself has several meanings. There are technical alternatives (like mesh topologies - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theatlantic.com&#x2F;technology&#x2F;archive&#x2F;2014&#x2F;06&#x2F;the-promise-of-an-alternative-internet&#x2F;372501&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theatlantic.com&#x2F;technology&#x2F;archive&#x2F;2014&#x2F;06&#x2F;the-pr...</a> - or simply requiring that all communications be encrypted), regulatory changes (eg, regulated essential utility, nationalization of all internet services), and organizational changes (decentralization of sites like Facebook and YouTube).<p>An alternative to the current internet could be that all people who connect to the internet are required to login to a government server, using biometrics and a password from a security token.<p>I feel a lot different about that than a decentralized mesh topology.

I am meaning more of something that presents itself seperate then the current status opening of your favorite browser and stroking in the old fashioned www. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;</a>. I feel as it is time for advanced users to surf and gather information on a seperate more mature exclusive state then the mainstream internet. Is it the cool or innovative for your parents to surf and find their information as we do? All the clickbait and galore of ads have infiltrated the web and so has the Facebooks and immature networks.. My opinion

I fell it would be best if it was connected to the current internet, or at least if I could search for things on it at duckduckgo.com
