Some good news
March 17th, 2006 | by onewebday | Published in Uncategorized
One of the goals of OneWebDay is to make it obvious that the Web is not all spam, viruses, dark corners, and predatory actors. Good things are happening online, and for whatever reasons they don’t get noticed — routinely.
Optimism isn’t fashionable these days, and online optimism often gets labeled as hype. We at OneWebDay embrace the hype — hype is hope! The Web gives us enormous opportunities for collaboration and creativity. And cool stuff. For example, here’s a video about an elaborate and fascinating online game. (It’s worth watching, but it takes about half an hour, so be warned.) If you weren’t at the conference where this video was made, you’d never know what Will Wright said — unless you used the Web, saw the video, and thought, Boy, that looks great! Maybe this is trivial, but we think it’s transformative.
And newsworthy.
