Inthe early 1990’s I was a child in primary school. There was a computer in my classroom and I was interested in the way it, along with the world, worked. After school I would find myself perched atop of the square brick letterbox outside the front of my family’s home in Western Australia. Looking out onto the street with cars driving by, I wondered what my future profession would be, and whether I could afford to buy my own house one day.
The way that the internet has shaped me as a person is not explainable, the digital layer has appeared and developed and is already on the cusp of a new quantum era. The World Wide Web went from read only, to read and write and now is at read, write and own.
