About the Web, Multimedia and the Future of Information

I was fortunate to study web and internet technologies when they were emerging in the 1990s, while working and studying in the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley. I realized the core concept behind the idea of the 'web' was as an open distribution network of information, accessible to anyone anywhere at anytime. I have followed persons as Tim Berners-Lee, the 'inventor' of the Web, ever since. He says:

"When I designed the World Wide Web, I built it as an open platform to foster collaboration and innovation. The Web evolved into a powerful and ubiquitous platform because I was able to build it on an open network that treated all packets of information equally. This principle of net neutrality has kept the Internet a free and open space since its inception."

In 2015, Tim Berners-Lee urged legislators in Europe to keep the Web an open platform to continue fostering collaboration and innovation. His Save the Internet crusade is designed for this purpose, I encourage you to support his efforts by joining the Save The Internet movement.
