Usenet allows people to engage in discussions and exchange ideas on a wide range of topics through newsgroups. It has also been used as a platform for distributing intellectual resources, facilitating the sharing of knowledge across a large user base. However, social media and the World Wide Web have overshadowed Usenet, aligning more closely with Licklider and Taylor’s vision of widespread and easily accessible communication for all. The interactive and multimedia capabilities of these newer platforms offer features that Usenet doesn't provide, making them more engaging for modern users.
