Of Greater importance I think is an observation I didn't have when I watched it some months ago was that all three really have a love of the intersection of technology and Society which for the web was baked in. Sir Tim has always been a champion for discourse, decency, unity.

I encourage anyone working on web and other internet related Technologies to take the time to watch that video of Vint Cerf, Al Gore, and Sir Tim as it really does portray an interesting dynamic of how the internet and policy and funding all rolled into how the web emerged.

I have not seen WordPerfect mentioned in a very long time. It lasted longer than expected because it was used here in the states as the word processor for attorneys and legal system workers. Who all eventually move to Microsoft Word. I remember wordstar!

I loved gopher loved loved loved it. I did work for a university that was using it for documenting Medical Science journals and the like it was really fun and definitely sparked my interest in digital publishing. Of course later blogs became a significant aspect of Web 2.0.

That's a wonderful distinction I think it depends in some ways how you use social networks we see such a proliferation of media and the binary arguments and political awful non-stop it has been better since certain world leader pretend was bands it should have been sooner.

I just realized where I'd heard that story it was Flash. You'd have people doing very intelligent work really lovely and appropriate for what they were doing and designers loved that pixel perfection. But boy did people, particularly certain agencies, abuse it and users too!

That's not untrue and in fact I think it's happened with other services and platforms like that before and likely will again. The one main issue with WordPress is more push for accessibility which was easier in early versions but less robust options including plugins and themes.

This is so fun it's like wandering down the memory of my youth because I was a lot younger in the '80s;-)

That I do not remember specific to bbs's in fact I'm not sure I remember too many books about bbs's at all. We had a local magazine that was pretty cool and kept lists of local single line and multi-line PBS is in their various topics and social interactions and events. So cool.

The favicon! It was so strange when it first came out and now it just seems like an indelibly Inked piece of our history. From the history of the web here's a little walk down memory lane. Enjoy!

It must be a later Edition or rewrite because The Guerrilla Marketing Concept was very early like 94 or 95 perhaps?

I like that comments regarding suffering and meaning I believe suffering is often the path to Healing. We go through not suppress. We should find many other ways to support and help one another however to over-medicalize everything is simply not going to end well for Humanity.
