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

The web changed my life from being focused around the hometown to literally the world. It has made things like communication to others very easy, think about WhatsApp, video conferencing, etc.
On the other hand it has made a lot of things abstract. No direct face to face communication to someone. You miss a lot of body language during the communication. This causes a lot of misunderstanding among people and thus increasing the individualism and opposites. Because of the indirect communication (between me and you for example) a lot of details get lost.

Yes, I know, I’m from the seventies, I’m getting old.
