Wonderful Web Wingding Day?
Over lunch with George, the discussion turned to the interestingly auspicious day next year of October 10th 2010, or in other words 10/10/10. In binary 101010 is 42 – which as everyone knows, is the meaning of life, the universe and everything. Gasp…
That got us thinking about whether October 10th next year could be used as a day for a positive celebration of the web. A ‘Wonderful Web Wingding’ Day – or hopefully something better titled – you get the gist.
The feeling is that the web is pretty wonderful and transformative, but that it gets routinely kicked by a combination of lazy journalism, negative hype, deliberate obfuscation or plain old evil regime. It can be used for nefarious purposes, but it can also be used as a tool for real positive change – so why not have a day to celebrate all the good things about the web, and to ponder how it can be even better in the future?
