Celebrate the Internet….
Oh, and the World Wide Web, too!
Today, Friday, September 22, 2006 is One Web Day and will be celebrated around the world in various brick and mortar cities and all across cyberspace. In celebration of the changes the Internet has fostered in each of our lives, we are each providing 10 ways the Web has changed our world.
For me the list would look something like this: 1) instant news, 2) email, 3) podcasts, 4) blogs, 5) Mapquest, 6) search engines, 7) YouTube, 9) file sharing, 9) iTunes and last but not least 10) Wikipedia so I know a whole bunch of important things like this:
Contrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents, linked by hyperlinks and URLs. The World Wide Web is accessible via the Internet, as are many other services including e-mail, file sharing, and others.

Cynthia,
Thanks again for letting me know about One Web Day. My life would be a lot more boring, and no where near as rich, if the Web didn’t exist.
