30 Years Later: What's Next for the #WorldWideWeb
(March 19, 2019) - The World Wide Web celebrated its 30th birthday last week, and the man who started it all had something to say. Sir Tim Berners-Lee wrote a blog for the Web Foundation, a group he founded, and addressed how far we've come, where we are now, and what’s next for the internet.
“The web has become a public square, a library, a doctor’s office, a shop, a school, a design studio, an office, a cinema, a bank, and so much more,” said Berners-Lee. “Of course with every new feature, every new website, the divide between those who are online and those who are not increases, making it all the more imperative to make the web available for everyone.”
Connected Nation advocates for the expansion of broadband and its related technologies because the nonprofit understands that having access can improve the quality of life for all people. All of us must work to close the Digital Divide.
Berners-Lee discussed both the opportunities and the pitfalls of the internet saying that “if we give up on building a better web now, then the web will have failed us.” He also went on to outline what he calls his top three sources of dysfunction affecting today’s web.
