“The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet.
The future is still so much

bigger than the past.”
Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the World Wide Web.
Introduction
"The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger
than the past," said Tim Berners-Lee, one of the World Wide Web inventors, at a
seminar on its future. Tim is now exploring how to make the Internet more accessible
and focuses on developing an affordable, uncontrolled and democratic web. His goal is
to create a better network for everyone, supporting the free flow of information and
ideas worldwide.

The Web of today was built and continues to be built by everyone. It owes a lot to the
multitude of people who have since made it an invaluable resource for humanity. It
has allowed millions of people to start businesses, connect with friends and family,
create social movements, and freely share their ideas. The Internet has transformed
the lives of people around the world. However, its full impact will only be achieved
when many more people and information go online, and this is happening every day and
will continue to do so.

The rise of Web usage
Currently, only about 30 percent of the world's population uses the Internet. This
share is higher in developed countries. In contrast, only five percent of Africans surf
the web. However, this level is expected to rise, especially in wealthy nations, as mobile
Internet use grows rapidly. It is no longer necessary to have a computer to browse the
web. We will have more Internet, more users, more mobile access, more speed, more
opportunities on the Internet, and more technology to control the Internet.

The number of websites has increased rapidly to over 80 million currently and is still
growing exponentially every day, with increasing numbers of sites consisting of user-
generated content like blogs. It is estimated that the number of websites will reach 1
billion by the end of 2021.

The benefits of the Web
The development of the web is one of the most important causes of our time. Today
half of the world is online. It's a time to celebrate how far we have come and an
opportunity to reflect on how far we still have to go. So, right now, it becomes more
important than ever to make sure that the other half isn’t left behind offline and that
everyone contributes to an Internet that fosters equality, opportunity and creativity.
The web has turned into a public place, a library, a store, a school, an office, a cinema,
a bank, and so on. Of course, with each new feature, with each new site, the divide
between those who are online and those who are not increases, which makes it even
more essential to make the Internet accessible to everyone.
As more data becomes available on the Internet and more people access it, the online
community can interact with new technologies and solve global problems. If we can get
all the data onto the web, it will be great for humanity. It is a premise for solving many
social issues. The Internet has already created a development of businesses that could
not exist without it, increased literacy and learning levels, and brought people together
through cheaper means of communication. Never before in human history that people
had access to so much information so quickly and easily. The Web allows thousands of
scientists around the world to share information and data.

The threats and opportunities
Humans created the WWW, so it has all the beauty, wonders and threats that we know.
And while the Internet has created opportunities, given a better and more
interconnected world, and made our daily lives more accessible, it has also opened up
opportunities for fraudsters, giving voice to those who spread hate and has simplified
all kinds of crime. From the news about how the Internet is being misused, it is clear
that many people feel fear and uncertainty that the web is a force for good. If we give
up building a better web now, then the web will not have failed us. We will have failed
the web.
As the Internet is changing the world, we have a responsibility to ensure that it is

recognised as a human right and created for the common good. The Web Contract
should not be a quick fix list but rather a process that signals a change in
understanding relationships of our online communities. It should be clear enough to
guide future development but flexible to adapt to the rapid pace of technological
change. Companies must ensure that their services do not harm human rights,
democracy or public safety. Platforms and products must be designed with data
protection and security in mind. Most importantly, citizens must hold businesses and
governments accountable for their commitments and demand that both respect the
Internet as a global citizen-based community. It’s our journey from digital youth to a
more mature, responsible and inclusive future.

Splinternet
Perhaps the biggest threat to the web is the development of the so-called splinternet. It
refers to the possibility of dividing the web into smaller regional pieces. In part, this is
the reaction of some governments to the over-influence of a small number of tech
giants. The web works because it is independent of the countries. When you read a
blog, you have no idea where the person who wrote came from, and it doesn't matter.
Today we have reached a critical point, and effective change for the better is possible
and necessary. The web is for everyone, and together we can make it better. It won't be
easy. But if we dream a bit and work hard, we can get the web we need.
Bridge
The World Wide Web was designed as an interactive world of shared information that
allowed people to communicate using machines. The Internet will soon become a tool
even for small groups, families, and personal information systems.
The future of the WWW

As we have seen, the World Wide Web has made it easier for people to exchange
information worldwide. It gave anyone with an Internet connection the ability to access
a wealth of knowledge, communicate freely with others on the web, and, if desired,
open their own business or platform. The World Wide Web has dramatically simplified
the exchange of information between people. It connected the world like never before
and made it easier for people to get information, exchange knowledge and
communicate. The Internet allowed people to share their work and thoughts through
social media, blogs, and video sharing.

The most significant change that is likely to affect the web over the next 30 years is
that more people will use it. It was estimated that approximately half of the world's
population is now connected to the Internet. As soon as the other half is online, they
will have access to many new opportunities and knowledge at the click of a button. But
this will require a significant expansion of the web and new technologies such as 5G
mobile networks to be cheap and affordable for everyone, especially in rural areas.

The Internet has changed since Berners-Lee presented his idea for the World Wide
Web, and it's pretty much not a very safe place. But it has always been a rapidly
changing environment, and there is no reason why this cannot continue. It is
important to remember that the Internet has brought many benefits to society despite
its faults. In addition to artificial intelligence tools that filter false information, users
need to change their behaviour to use the Internet more securely and better protect
their data. It may mean that the future of the web will be more private, but it should
mean that it will be more secure. Billions of people around the world have yet to use
the Internet. Hence, it is imperative to clean up and improve the World Wide Web so
that the next decade can be as transformative and profitable as the last three,
especially for these new ones.

The future is still so much bigger than the past.
