Happy 31st World Wide Web !


"Let the web serve humanity"

WWW Inventor, Tim Berners-Lee celebrates on Twitter

Hard to believe WWW is 31 years, it's done so much and transformed itself so many times one would think it's at least 100.


Oh boy, do I wish it did really serve humanity well. Unfortunately, there's just too much propaganda, bias, control, and greed at the expense of  human rights and democracy. When will this end?


Perhaps it's good intentioned inventor, Tim Berners-Lee can invent an antidote application to counteract this horriffic poison to humanity. If anyone can, I know he can and not just by speaking and advocating but by building something better intended for humanity.

In any event, WWW probably the greatest disruption of the 19th century.
