@Gabe – I can totally relate. Nobody in my graduate program would have anything to do with it. Not students, professors, nobody. It was seen as a waste of time, some sort of ridiculous fad.

My biggest beef with the web is all that is wrong outside the web as well: spam and scams. It totally enables con artists to continue to make a quick buck at the expense of others.

Where was I in 1994? I just finished my undergrad where I rented a PC with an amber monitor to do my school work in my apartment. Shortly after, in 1995, I taught business at a post-secondary school and I told students that one day every commercial will have http://www.something.com at the end. They looked at me like I had 2 heads!

@Annabel – I recall wildly waving my arms about the internet. And nobody paying any attention whatsoever!

@Dana – It’s not done yet. The change is still accelerating.

1994 – I was in Paris. My hubby (then my boyfriend) told me about email and got our computer all set up for it. He was excited:

“This is going to change the way we communicate,” he said.”With email we can send a message to anyone, anywhere in the world and they will get it immediately.”

It sounded great. I was excited too. There was only one problem. We didn’t know one single other person who also had email.

Fast forward 15 years and everyone has an email address apart from my mum. And even she talks about getting one:)

@Deacon – I have the initial scope for an in-depth article, still need to do some experiments and fact checking. Meantime, look for PWT #18 coming Thursday on refining your deep linking techniques.

Create our own webs. Interesting. The microcosm reflects the macrocosm.
The interesting thing about the web is that since there is such a low barrier to entry, almost anyone can play in the sandbox. The internet is only as good as you, me, and the 6 billion other people on this planet are.
