About the presentation
This week in Nova Iskra we will once more address the subject of net neutrality. This Wednesday, we invite you to attend the projection of the movie Foreveryone.net, and Renata Avile’s and Slobodan Marković’s talk about future and genesis of internet, a testimony of its founder and the principles he followed.
The movie Foreveryone.net connects potential future of the internet to a little-known story about its beginnings. In 1989, a thirty-three year old programmer Tim Berners Lee invented the World Wide Web, and his visionary decision to make it free and accessible to everybody caused a global revolution in communication. Tim declared the internet to be a human right, and demanded an online magna carta in order to protect privacy and freedom of speech on internet, expand the connections of communities without internet access, and keep following the principle “one web for all”
The movie is 35 minutes long.
Tim’s dramatical story raises the question: will we fight for the web we want, or will it be taken away from us?
