The Machine is Us/ing Us

Wow, that is impressive: the evolution of technology. It does not fit my brain how html was created. I mean, who created it anyways? Who came up with it?
I googled it, and the inventor appears to be Tim Berners-Lee.

What I liked most of the video was near the end where it said:
      "The Web is no longer just linking information.
       The Web is linking people."

That is true. The web has connected us to parts of the world we would have not reached otherwise. Through social media (such as Facebook), people are able to establish friendships with folks in England, or Spain, or Mexico. Not only that, but many marriages have been the product of an online dating site. These days people are able to discover worlds outside their own without leaving their house. Kinda crazy, but it's our innovated world.
