- Well, the first thing I do in the morning is turn the computer on.
- Then I might eat breakfast if nothing exciting is happening.
- [♪ techno music ♪] welcome to
- One Web Day
- Welcome to One Web Day! [Cheers] September 22
- [audience cheering]
- WE LOVE THE INTERNET
- Keegan, Ben, Magicians
- What do you think the magic of the internet is in our lives?
- What do you think is the biggest thing the internet has done for society?
- It connected the world in one big ball of energy, I guess.
- So why are we here? We're here to celebrate the Web.
- And the impact it has on human lives, and the enormous, overwhelming
- potential the Web has to improve human lives around the world.
- Yeah, it's the fabric that holds it all together.
- Keeping it simple, and sharing it with one another.
- The greatest ability for anyone to reach out to the world,
- and to participate in the great world in our lives.
- [Craig Newmark, craigslist] Well, I see people using the Web to change all our lives pretty much every day.
- [Scott Heiferman, Meetup.com] It is truly, all hype aside, changing the world, and it's really just getting started.
- I use it for my son, to find things to do, to find classes,
- to find information, for health information.
- I was diagnosed
- Paula Hiltz
- with something that's a very rare condition, and I've been able to find a doctor
- in Canada who actually does the surgery, and that's all through the amazing internet, because—
- without technology, people feel like, helpless.
- It is my daily life.
- For me, it's a massive part of what I do every day.
- And it's changed my life for the better.
- I can communicate with friends, send pictures all over the place,
- learn new things that I never knew before, in just about an instant.
- I know I can get a lot of information off the internet,
- a lot of things that helps me out, job-wise—
- It facilitates a person's ability to conduct business,
- to access new services—
- I pay my bills online.
- Go on the Web sites for my wife's shopping sprees—
- We're proud of all those things, and we built them.
- The people built them, because the Web is fundamentally made of people.
- It's a miracle.
- We are using the Web to change all of our lives for the better.
- We're getting better informed; we're getting better government.
- we've just got to keep plugging away. We've got to keep following through.
- [♪ techno music ♪] We need to protect the internet
- We're also here because we don't want to take the Web for granted.
- It's an amazing, amazing resource that needs to be protected—
- [Save our Internet]
- defended, and celebrated.
- That's the purpose of One Web Day.
- Manon Langlois, Cira Representative
- One Web Day is an international celebration to help celebrate how the World Wide Web brings people together.
- I think it really facilitates just the freedom to move in our society.
- That's one thing that's lacking for a whole a lot of people,
- is the ability to move through consumer circles, to move through information circles,
- to move physically through spaces.
- And with the internet, everyone is in the same place, at the same time, right away.
- There's very little censorship in the internet,
- which is appealling to a lot of people.
- You can put whatever you want, in any form that you want.
- Everyone is equal once they get on the internet.
- And I think that's what's really important about it.
- Nobody's in charge. And we should keep it that way.
- [♪ techno music ♪] we want to celebrate the internet
- Think about the impact that the Web has had on all of our lives.
- Over the last decade it's changed how we find work, find people,
- communicate, work together, play together, recreate in all kinds of ways,
- and we're just beginning. We're just at the beginning of the history of the Web,
- and what it can do for humankind.
- That's the purpose of this holiday, this celebration.
- To take all of that seriously, and have some fun while we're doing it.
- I want to support One Web Day, I wanted to say good luck to everybody,
- it's fabulous that we're having events all over the world—
- In Austin, Texas, in Belgrade, in Boston, they're thanking Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
- All over Canada they've had an enormous tour in anticipation of One Web Day.
- In Chicago they're making films about how they use the Web.
- In London, the Lord Mayor is making a speech.
- In Naples, they're having a big creative museum experiment.
- In Los Angeles, in San Francisco, in the Philippines, three whole days.
- In Second Life, Sofia, Tokyo, Vienna, and in Westport, Connecticut,
- a lot of One Web Day celebration is going on.
