Well the World Wide Web started 30 years ago today. It's been an amazing journey, most of it good, I certainly have enjoyed using it. Thanks to Tim Berners-Lee and no doubt a team of like minded individuals. I now hear Tim BL has been thinking more about the down side of the web and wonders if there should have been more…
I notice that all map coordinates are given in Latitude and Longditude, What a waste of time this is only any good in Google Maps.
