RE: Help I've been abducted by Stemmians
It's great that you have found success and pleasure in the platform. I personally have enjoyed my first few months here a lot and I'm happy to continue. Looking forward to your future posts.
It is just a joy to be part of this community. @rocking-dave and I glad that you are enjoying steemit too.
This is what the founders of the web wanted. A level playing field where anyone could contribute, and share in the benefits for their efforts.
Well, I wouldn't really know about the founders and I'm not even sure what they wanted matters that much. The important thing is what we want. Didn't the founders just want to be able to share files between university campuses? :P
In the early days yes. When Tim Berners Lee created the web years later it was so they could share info at CERN.
Later again the www consortium began sorting out protocols and standards the emphasis became global. The free web was born.
The idea behind it being that a level playing should be for everyone and not controlled by a few corporations.
I should read up on that history, interesting stuff and I have forgotten many details of the story! Thanks! :)
My pleasure. This internet all began with Arpanet. The US Military fire control network to launch ICBM's.
