For me at least, this news item is hard to believe: the internet is 30 years old! There's already a whole generation who don't know what pre-internet life was like:

To mark the occasion, inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee sent an open warning about what he sees as a downward spiral:-
Quote:
In his letter, Sir Tim outlined three specific areas of "dysfunction" that he said were harming the web today:
- malicious activity such as hacking and harassment
- problematic system design such as business models that reward clickbait
- unintended consequences, such as aggressive or polarised discussions

As Sir Tim doesn't call out MusicBanter specifically, I think we can all sigh with relief: thanks to good modding, we have dodged a bullet!! |
