4.95 billion people use the internet each day. The World Wide Web (WWW) is equally accessible and available without variables that depend on the financial motives of Internet Service Providers (ISP). It's a single global platform for the exchange of information. There's no denying that it's essential, but why and how can we make it even more valuable?
