Raw data will always be text, images, audio and video files.. Do you need a global data network to enjoy raw data? And with raw data being the old gold (and the new for the Goon'ers), cooked is the funnies thing, letting you know someone was raised in the digital slums when they say that.
"It looks good on paper" has probably evolved to "It looks good on physical media" for those raised in Personal Computing environments (many individuals do not chase a penny in their personal time hence PC), but we could hash out the finer points of consumer electronics and where mobile devices started being abandoned around 2007 (IPhone's etc) and how touchscreen monkeys showed what a failed social experiment at scale looks like. Consumer electronics can/will kill many data networks due to the disposable nature of the hardware/software/gimmicks.
If you're not ready for new data networks, you're stuck on (1) black and white TV channel in the 1950's.. Raw data is not limited to TCP/IP or Internet 1.0. What content would you think would seed a new data network in addition to new interactions? Browsers are not needed for raw data either, with an FTP client-type application probably being satisfactory for generation 2.0 data networks. Human-friendly naming schemes worked with telephone numbers and DNS thus far, but a directory of links used to be a thing to assist discovery and exploration on early Internet 1.0. It's not that difficult to make an address scheme for much smaller data networks.
Push messaging is another matter, but you'll only get low-noise-floor communication networks when poor people (aka the digital slums) are not chasing greasy pennies trying to shill an NFT to ya in a classic pump-and-dump... The subscription service to a SPAM data network also has a classic humor to it (its like drinking high-fructose corn syrup and then having to undergo dialysis to suck it right back out of your veins...) Where does all of the extra time gained on new data networks go? To enjoying the raw data? Its still sprinkled all around Internet 1.0. You just don't get it from Multi-National companies chasing shareholder value... That's the consumer electronics stench....

Once you start looking, you'll find that some individuals are already enjoying a different experience on data networks that are not Internet 1.0. Once you sort data into raw data categories, it's not difficult to see the ease-of-use with text data networks, gradually requiring more bandwidth for images, audio and then video (though upscaling technologies have been phenomenal the past few months, so passing 640x480 videos and upscaling to 8K video might be ready to go and would stretch the DVD/Blu Ray Disc's for distributing video the older-fashioned way as well as downloading on new low-bandwidth data networks).
This is the best time in history to be enjoying innovation! It's happening all around on the domestic and regional level... Can you see a few MESH networks with a unique/new network protocol linking together to form a loose web domestically or regionally over 1000's of miles? All it takes is a modem for the new data network (wired and wireless included).

Add to that simply distributing 1GB/10GB download blocks over Internet 1.0 to host over wireless networks locally/hyper-locally and you've got gen 1.5 data networks in your backyard that you may find all over town/the world if it's popular enough with the natives. S.T.E.M. data networks are an easy example of categorized raw data that can be replicated easily among like-minded individuals.
Perhaps talented individuals would do it a little differently, just to satisfy their own inclinations....... Enjoy some steel beans and ponder
