We're at a critical juncture in the evolution of software. The web is still here and it is still strong. Anyone can still put any information or applications on a web server without asking for permission, and anyone in the world can still access it just by typing a URL.

What an incredible stroke of luck the web was, and what a shame it would be to let that freedom slip away.
