The Dream of The Net

The Internet was never intended to be ghettos of corporate websites and personal blogs.

The inter-net has always highlighted the promise of freedom: freedom of movement, of interoperability - freedom of speech and freedom of access. Of greater transparency.

This can't happen with the traditional web-browser where users are only allowed to move around the web of the Internet through hand made links.

The dream of the net goes way beyond links to a promise of an environment where you choose how to navigate, how to interact, what to do. How to see things even, and how to discuss them.

The Internet promises the freedom to speak and the freedom to listen. The freedom to take part in humanity's knowledge.

My dream is that all the world's knowledge will be made available to everyone at the touch of a keyboard.

I still have a dream that the Web could be less of a television and more of an interactive sea of shared knowledge.
Tim Berners-Lee

We hope that this can become a sketch board for dreaming up a new, and better, Internet - which is not only faster and bigger, but which solves real problems for real people in new ways.

If you prefer to blog about it just link to this page and it will show up in the link here: Blogs posts about the dream.

This project is presented by an alternative way of looking at navigating the vast information that is out there:

A new way of interacting with all the text on the net, not just links. It is only one of many different paradigms of what to do with the net, showing some of the further potential of the net.
