Weaving the Web, by Tim Berners-Lee, is a book describing how Tim Lee’s ambition made what the internet is now today. Chapter 1 was mostly about him describing the possibility of having computers connected together for faster information sharing. He also described that he basically joined with others who had similar ambitions.
People now have a web of information at their fingertips. I admit that if Tim never had this dream, the World Wide Web would have been very different from today, or at least slowly developed. Imagine a world without the internet. No online dictionary/encyclopedia, no MySpace/Facebook/YouTube, No online gaming. Would you like to live in a world like that? I wouldn’t like it, that’s for sure!

I wouldn't like it either, but that's only because we know how it's like with the internet at our fingertips.
