Today marks the 30th anniversary of the original proposal of the World Wide Web. The
proposal was submitted by Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist at CERN, the
European Organization for Nuclear Research.
But, that is different than the “internet”…
Larry Magid explains.
In an open letter to mark the anniversary, Berners-Lee said many people now felt unsure about whether the web was a force for good, but it would be defeatist and unimaginative to assume that it could not change for the better in the next 30 years.
“If we give up on building a better web now, then the web will not have failed us. We will have failed the web”, he wrote.
“It’s our journey from digital adolescence to a more mature, responsible and inclusive future”.
