Thus The Guardian today. “When Tim Berners-Lee invented the web he thought he’d created an egalitarian tool that shared information for the greater good,” explains the newspaper. “What went wrong?” That was nearly twenty-four years ago. By and by, many of the egalitarian principles have been lost. Many people are not only doubtful but also skeptical by now. Indeed, Wired declared on its front cover some four years ago that the web was dead. Berners-Lee’s vision has been supplanted by a customized, commercialized online paradise or hell. No wonder, then, that Berners-Lee recently took a pop at Facebook for taking over the web. But the article leaves it at that. For crying out loud, what could Berners-Lee have expected from rampant capitalism of his day and age but complete and total subterfuge of all egalitarian ideas, including the World Wide Web? As I was reading the article, I could not but think of the ongoing attack on my Residua website (“Fakers’ Hypertext,” August 14, 2014). By way of fake comments on one of my pieces of writing, peddlers of fashionable replicas are hoping to advertise their wares across the globe. So far, I have had more than six hundred such comments, which take quite a bit of my time to erase from my site. Capitalism gone wild, no doubt. Whence the wobble that threatens the entire planet well beyond the web.
