"Web access is a human right"
Media_httpetudiantuni_fodzk

Two decades after creating the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee says humans have become so reliant on it that access to the Web should now be considered a basic right. In a speech at an MIT symposium, Computation and the Transformation of Practically Everything, Berners-Lee compared access to the Web with access to water. While access to water is a more fundamental right, because people simply cannot survive without it, Web access should be seen as a right, too, because anyone who lacks Web access will fall behind their more connected peers.

Eleven Characters of Futility

Any organisation or company that forces me to type "www." before their domain name should be shut down and their web admins shot. How many hours does humanity spend each day typing these eleven characters of utter futility: http://www.? This has to stop.
