The Web at 20

     This article was very relevant to me as I use the web daily for assignments for school and checking e-mails and keeping in touch with friends and family via social networking. The point in this article that spoke to me the most was the segment about people believing the web to be a piece of "nature," essentially meaning that something that is not within the control of man to fix or preserve. I agree one-hundred percent with this article that the web should be preserved as it is an extremely valuable asset to nearly every person. I agree with the article that no one service or networking group should have a "monopoly" of sorts regarding your personal information and the services and advertisements you are exposed to. I also agree that people should be able to create their own social networking, as opposed to being subject to one main service. While I am an advocate and frequent user of social networks, I believe that they are becoming too dominant in today's World Wide Web.
