Year after year the web remains my favorite platform to use and develop for. No other platform comes even close to the compatibility, reach, staying power as the web. Here's to 100 more years of the web (or something web-like in the future).
- JohnBooty 6y agoI agree with you. But I'm afraid we're in its dying days, at least as far as the original ideals of the web were concerned. In our rush to make browsers more powerful application platforms rivaling operating systems themselves, we raised the bar so high that we ensured the web's destruction: by guaranteeing that it would eventually be effectively controlled by a single browser maker. In practice, this was probably always going to be Google, but if it wasn't Google it would simply have been some other Google-sized player.
