The Farmers’ Market of Today
Posted on | February 28, 2010 | No Comments
Many things have been said about the internet being like a bad neighbourhood, and that can be true. You don’t have to go far before someone tries to sell you something that would make a longshoreman blush. We can sit around and find plenty of things to complain about, but in the end, the internet is a global community. If you’re reading this, you are a member of that community.
Things have developed to the point where every person with access to a computer could now make themselves a free website. That’s pretty staggering when you consider that the internet wasn’t even commercialised until the 1990s and now a quarter of the people on Earth are using it.
What I’m saying is… it’s up to us, all of us who are doing our little projects in our little corners, to get ourselves online. The internet is what WE make it. If regular people make websites, the dark alleys and sleazy cons will be relegated to the sidelines and a colourful farmers’ market will be ours to stroll through.
