Has the #web changed your life? In what way(s)?
Are there features that are particularly life-saving, or very convenient to you? (e.g., WebRTC for live videoconferencing, or Web Payments API for ecommerce, etc.)

I want to write a @w3c article at the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the release of the World Wide Web into the public domain, for general use and at no cost, by CERN on 30 April 1993.

Any insight from the fediverse to complement our own research is welcome! Thanks in advance! <3

@koalie @w3c I'm not sure I'd even be still alive if the web didn't exist

@smicur thanks for the Web indeed, then!
If your insight is generic enough that I could reuse it in my story, please feel free to be a wee bit more specific! Anything I'd re-use would be anonymized.

@koalie there was no one specific reason to boil down, and also I used to have a lot of difficulties during childhood I prefer not to talk about.

Long story short: social interactions, sharing hobbies, getting new ones - I'm not sure I could have had either of those without the web.

That kind of social connection over cities and even countries, breaking locality, helps a lot for introvert and/or neurodivergent people.
