The Web is amazing.
You can play games with friends
on different continents,
find answers to any question in seconds,
see a live feed of our planet from space,
translate languages with a single click,
share a recent photo from a fun trip,
or tell everyone you know
about your cool, new job.
But it wasn’t always like this.
It wasn’t always a beautiful,
infinite world of knowledge and activity.
It’s easy to forget how disconnected
we were before the Web.
It was a lot harder to find
and share information.
So many of our online experiences today
are powered by standards under the hood,
fruits of years of collaboration.
Without developers working together,
we would need different browsers
to view different sites,
and search engines would be much less powerful,
if the Web were split into silos.
In fact, it’s safe to assume that
without today’s connected tech landscape
We’d probably be in the middle
of a zombie apocalypse,
fending off maniacal desert gangs,
and watching our civilization crumble
into a seemingly endless vacuum of nothing.
A word of advice:
Nobody ever beat zombies alone.
This glorious Web
is our collective responsibility,
and we need to treat it as such.
It’s a rich, valuable digital world,
but it wouldn’t hold together
without the standards we use every day.
So, how can we take care of it?
By taking action.
By coding,
writing,
designing,
discussing,
and defending the open Web.
Thank you for supporting Web standards.
Please help us shape the next era.
Join our efforts to build an open web platform for the future.
