Unfortunate China Conference Title Of The Day: “One World, One Web”
By Paul Midler | March 28, 2008
The 17th International World Wide Web Conference will be held in Beijing (Apr 21-25). I got a chuckle out of the title for the conference - “One World, One Web”. Looks interesting, but what a horribly named theme. Web surfers inside Mainland China most certainly do not experience the Internet in the same way as outsiders. Even Hong Kongers enjoy a more liberated online experience.
The World Wide Web Conference is a global event bringing together key researchers, innovators, decision-makers, technologists, businesses, and standards bodies working to shape the Web. Since its inception in 1994, the WWW conference has become the annual venue for international discussions and debate on the future evolution of the Web. The main theme of the conference is “One World, One Web”. The conference will explore how Web access is moving from the desktop to cell phones and TV screens, and how most users are moving from passive browsing experiences on the Internet to active participation in building Web communities.
