Life on the Web

The world wide web may have been invented to allow scientists to communicate more efficiently with each other, exchanging notes and collaborating without having to be physically in close proximity to each other. The world wide web has created virtual proximity where people can communicate with each other as though close together. Tim Berners Lee is not as well-known as Bill Gates but he certainly is one of the giants of our time. I had a hard time remembering his name and I had to look up the Internet to read about him and what he has done before his name finally stuck to my mind.

The web has changed my life and I don't mean this in a spectacular way. For one thing, I used to frequent bookstores looking for books on computers, programming and stuff like that. Having a dsl connection has made bookstores kind of superfluous if not irrelevant. What I mean by this is that most bookstores in my location don't have new books. They sell outdated books which really offer no new information. The internet has information which are current as well as old information that are archived. More importantly, one can join mailing lists where people can help you with problems that are very specific.
