OneWebDay

The Web is wonderful. What would we all be today without it? Personally I know that I would be totally lost without Internet. Just this past weekend when my Internet connection was gone I realized how much I relay on the Internet. To check up on news and other things. To send emails, IMs and post in communities. To do my banking, order tickets, books, CDs etc. And last but not least to blog. I went online the first time in January 1997. One computer lab at the campus was connected to the Internet and we all had so sign up if we wanted to “surfing the World Wide Web”. One of the computer science professors watched s very carefully and I remember being terrified doing something wrong. 10 years the World Wide Web has become a daily part of my life and I wonder how I ever did things before. It’s just a marvellous thing. This is what OneWebDay is going to celebrate on September 22.

The Web is worth celebrating.

OneWebDay is one day a year when we all - everyone around the physical globe - can celebrate the Web and what it means to us as individuals, organizations, and communities

As with Earth Day - an inspiration and model for OneWebDay - it’s up to the celebrants to decide how to celebrate. We encourage all celebrations! Collaboration, connection, creativity, freedom.

By the end of the day, the Web should be just a little bit better than it was before, and we’ll be able to see our connection to it more clearly.
