www.2.0

It seems appropriate somehow that it was thanks to the worldwide web that I know today is the 20th birthday of the worldwide web. We've come a long way from ARPAnet, but distance isn't always synonymous with progress. Some would say that the web's main contribution has been to make paranoid theories, porn and political invective easier to find, and it's hard to refute that if you spend any time looking at twitter. Of course, the underlying fact here is that pretty much all technology is amoral. It's only the uses that are good or evil. Personally, I just wish people would make the effort to spell better.
