Web Design: the First Hundred Years
What is the Web for?
There are three classes of people defined by how they answer this question:
- the Web is a way to connect knowledge, people and cats
- we will fix the world with software
- we will become as Gods!
The behaviors of these classes belie a desire to:
- connect the world
- eat the world
- end the world
The defining feature of our industry is exponential growth.
but the reality is...
exponential growth = exponential angst = exponential hangover = exponential treadmill
“Let’s change the Internet of Things to the Internet of People or better yet, the Internet for People.”
