the internet is generativeopen, participatory, distributed, hackble, evolving

the web is healthy nowit’s open and generative

but likely many threats and struggles ahead

network throttled, sliced up

mobile web still thinks like a phone

web video looks like plain old TV

identity and data locked up in silos

security + privacy fail = web lockdown

100will we have an open web

years?
