Sir Tim Berners-Lee said the Web 'failed instead of served humanity'. He claimed to be "devastated" by abuses of the web. I find this profoundly tragic. But also affirming that a respected source of wisdom aligns with my own "truth". So, maybe it's not too hyperbolic to say the "Web is dead" if it is dead to it's own creator. Some of whatever it was lives on, in ideas and values of a minority. We cannot wind it back, or rebuild it on the sewer it now is. For the rest, who know no better, it is a horrible, horrible place. What we might usefully teach children are the many other ways to use computers and the internet, as local oracles, as peer to peer technologies, through networks on other protocols.
