Tim says... Long Live the Web!
The inventor of the Internet, Tim Berners-Lee has written a fine piece in Scientific American, in which he warns of the dangers of social networks walling off user's information, the forces fighting Net neutrality, and governments around the globe using the technology to take away human rights. Here's a snippet...
The Web is critical not merely to the digital revolution but to our continued prosperity-and even our liberty. Like democracy itself, it needs defending.
If you've got a few minutes take a read. As Tim writes, the goal of the Web is to serve humanity. It's up to us to keep up a vigilance and make sure it's not used as a force of malevolence.
