Indeed, the modern day web is closer to what TV was back in the late 1990s or early 2000s than the web of that era. Except more tailored to you, so probably more addicting than the television.

I'm not sure if you could re-create the early web experience. It might be possible with a VERY highly curated twitter feed, but it would still be challenging, as the medium doesn't promote the same type of long term engagement as the older style PhpBB forums did.
