Today the World Web marks its 20th anniversary, and there is no way to understate its importance to the world as we know it.
The main reason the World Wide Web has achieved such importance, is its free open nature. Everyone can build upon it since it's open to all, and use it freely according to their needs or interests. If wasn't free and open, we wouldn't have the Internet as we know it today.
This is why we should keep it like this, if we want to be able to keep using as we have been doing it so far. The World Wide Web has become the common forum where ideas can be discussed and information is shared among all the interested. It's where we come to find information just about anything, or to share what we love with others.
In many ways, the World Wide Web has allowed the world to become a smaller place by allowing people to connect with others in distant places in any way better fits them. It has become pivotal for many to be able to keep in touch with loved one who are far away.
We should reflect on the importance of keeping the World Wide Web free and open, since this way it's truly and most valuable to all of us. It's imperative to keep it as a common good of humanity, one where we all can use is equally.
