WWW is 30

The World Wide Web is 30 today according to Google’s homepage.

Humans in their current form have been around for approximately 200,000 years.

How did we get here as humans without having the internet for 199,970 years of 200,000?

We need to think about what we rely on and how much it really matters, except for of course when you read this blog, then you’ll need WWW. However, saying that, before it would have been a column in a paper or the spoken word.

We don’t need WWW as much as many believe.

Often we have things that occur, situations that arise, that jolt us into reality. Like we’ve been suddenly awoken from a deep sleep, startled, shaken.

These moments are when we feel surreal. But it is these very moments that are when we are actually fully conscious, and as they are so few, that is why we feel they are strange.

Like sudden amazing beauty in nature, a birth, or something shocking like a car crash or a death.

The thing is if we focus on being present and we experience each moment, we do not have to rely on a jolt to wake us up.
