The world wide web –> Please read through the term again. The term for sure came from the Project that Tim Berners Lee was working on way back in the 1990s, [ surprisingly just a decade back from the 2nd millennia ending was the technology that was getting souped up , the technology that has eventually changed the way the world works today]
I was reading TBLs book Weaving the Web and came across some of the wonderful thinking process that went into the whole making of this gala technology. The immense emotion that I feel from the name “World Wide Web” is that it was conjured so early and it went on to became a worthy namesake for what it is today. The Web around you – both in the positive and negative intonations does exist. Today we are one step away a network with running millions of bits of data around us. The data is around us , living and moving.
My friend once was surprised to realize that the omnipresence is so strong and that we live in the world where devices are connected and downloading information at super fast rates , that actually when we say we are breathing data it is not in the strict prose but literally if I were to have a device with a Terabyte of data storage that is a wildcard to all mac addresses or SSID handshakes or SIM number , I would have that device full even before I press Windows + E
The human mind can only process as much data as it used to hundreds of years back. Getting so much data , in so many more ways, does it really help. IT industry has revolutionized businesses, but we also have data now of every possible downturn and possible combination of mistakes. A ignorant man in todays world will make a revolutionary decision than a fully informed person. The play safe game only keeps you breathing and alive and kicking for as long as you perseverant. You never know when being "killed by over knowledge " could lead you. Funny enough there are hundreds of employees out there who definitely know so much more than their counterparts and end up not writing any thing of value since they over rationalize the uselessness of the result .
I believe this is a phase when mind control and thought focus should come to play. There should be a strong inherent process for someone online to know what is wrong information – try and learn to know the minute and subtle markers of data preadators who are there just to waste your time.
I feel many people just fabricate stuff to create a long running blog , they just add flame to the fire. There are people who want any who SEO to get it out there making it into a full blown industry . There is more data than you read at times. Sometimes government funded projects to get all the minds to come together for a single project does make sense. Research facilities should rather not compete but share the profits and make larger strides together. Yes there are two paths to the same destination but with the platforms being limited, most people are not very far from one another in terms of knowledge.
I have found repeated arguments against this too. I agree with the philosophy of Ayn Rand at times and sometimes not. The average has to live and earn its bread [ it is intentional ] . 3 different teams trying to solve the same problem of Maps and trying better one another by just a small fraction will give the user choice but will it in the end give additional value. If you are online you just have it.
