The Death of the Web or Open Source Future?

The web is dead. The websites are alive. Torrents, Podcasts, Facebook, etcetera are alive. Will you search THE website or A website? The subtle difference is the intention; Getting means having an objective. Exploring (Searching) means freedom. Getting can be controlled, can be induced, can be conditioned to yourself. The extasis of finding without really looking for it; Searching what you don’t know yet, the fulfilling pleasure of sailing the Web is long lost. StumbleUpon.com is profiting from this death.

The transferred bits, has nothing to do with the Web, except for the technological sense; The web is the free space, existing inside the internet protocols. Everyone can be part of the Web. Everyone can open notepad, code as he will, and open up the services in his own computer, but there’s no Web (There IS the Web, but it’s dead. ¿You got the point?).
That web site exist, and its part of the web, but the web is dead in the sense that nobody is IN the web anymore. There’s no sailer in the ocean of the Web, but surfers in the seas of blogs, social networks; the sea of the gadget. Your notepad site exists in a death ocean. The new boats, the new spaces are those hard-coded, hard-limited not in a technological sense; Facebook, Twitter, Ipad, RSS’s, Etcetera. “You’ve spent the day on the Internet — but not on the Web”. New spaces are grown; Social media networks, Music networks, Facebook, Blogs, Apps, Gadgets, but the web as some knew it, is dead. It doesn’t implies the new spaces are worse.

“It makes no sense to put the Web in the fight against particular apps.” ¿Who’s putting the Web in the fight against particular apps? Let that fight for the capitalists; Without them and their struggles, there would be no change nor progress in a technological sense “And contrary to the post in which it says that Apple and Google are killing it. In reality, they are building it.”


Apple and Google are building OVER it, thus killing it. The Web will always exist, buried under Apple’s and Google’s backyard. I understand your point, but the whole point of the article isn’t contradicted by your argument. It’s not about the internet, it’s not about the control of the technology, but with the Web itself.
