He noted "Try it" and the world was changed.
Thanks Tim!

IMHO it is, and has actually saved and preserved many lives... but there's lots of malignantly selfish, deafeningly loud, well-financed, and persistent dumbfks out there.

Been there since the beginning and yes it changed our world... democratized and majorly simplified access to information, made logistics easier and online commerce possible and the world a trading place. With social media, it made the world a village. But also made possible new ways of manipulating masses and spread lies and fake news... not all is well... the combination with AI and online surveillance yet another challenge. Yes, the world has changed...
