If You Use The Original World Wide

The Google Algorithm Was A Significant Development. I've Had Thank-you Emails From People Whose Lives Have Been Saved By Information On A Medical Website Or Who Have Found The Love Of Their Life On A Dating Website.

One Way To Think About The Magnitude Of The Changes To Come Is To Think About How You Went About Your Business Before Powerful Web Search Engines. You Probably Wouldn't Have Imagined That A World Of Answers Would Be Available To You In Under A Second. The Next Set Of Advances Will Have An Different Effect, But Similar In Magnitude.

The More You Enter, The More You Become Locked In. Your Social-networking Site Becomes A Central Platform - A Closed Silo Of Content, And One That Does Not Give You Full Control Over Your Information In It. The More This Kind Of Architecture Gains Widespread Use, The More The Web Becomes Fragmented, And The Less We Enjoy A Single, Universal Information Space.

If I Had Taken A Proprietary Control Of The Web, Then It Would Never Have Taken Off. People Only Committed Their Time To It Because They Knew It Was Open, Shared: That They Could Help Decide What Would Happen To It Next.. And I Wouldn't Be Raking Off 10%!

I Should Be Able To Pick Which Applications I Use For Managing My Life, I Should Be Able To Pick Which Content I Look At, And I Should Be Able To Pick Which Device I Use, Which Company I Use For Supplying My Internet, And I'd Like Those To Be Independent Choices.
