Today, August 1 — World Wide Web’s 35th Anniversary — pros and cons of WWW for dullsters

35 years. Amazing.

Thank you Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

Here are pros and cons — if you have some to add, please email them to us at contactus@dullmensclub.com

Pros:

• Access to practically all human knowledge

• Much easier and faster to do research

• While writing, instant access to dictionary and other aids

• Brainstorming (hierarchical outlining apps)

• We dullsters don’t get out much. Now we can get out even less.

• No reason to go out to the grocery store and for other shopping. We can order from Amazon.

• To the extent we go out to meet others, we can do it instead using Zoom and other apps

Cons:

• Distracting

•AI takes over, corrects things incorrectly

• Invasion of privacy and confidentially
