Locking the Web Open—a Decentralized Web that Can Operate as Free Software Does

Digital memory is ever more important and more difficult to manage.

Thirty years after the World Wide Web was created, can we now make it
+better?  How can we ensure that our most important values: privacy, free
+speech, and free access to knowledge are enshrined in the code itself? 
+In a provocative call to action, entrepreneur and Open Internet
+advocate, Brewster Kahle, challenges us to build a better, decentralized
+Web based on new distributed technologies.  Website content and code
+could be served peer-to-peer, with decentralized psuedonomous identity,
+and even payment models.  What a world it could be.

-Advances in computing and communications mean that we can cost-effectively store every book, sound recording, movie, software package, and public Web page ever created, and provide access to these collections via the Internet to students and adults all over the world. By using mostly already-existing institutions and funding sources, we can build this, as well as compensate authors, within the current worldwide library budget. For the first time since the loss of the Library of Alexandria, technological advances may allow us to collect all published knowledge in a similar way. But now, we can take the original goal another step further, to make all the published works of humankind accessible to everyone, no matter where they are in the world.

-Will we allow ourselves to reinvent our concept of libraries and archives to expand and to use the new technologies? This is fundamentally a societal and policy issue, and these issues are reflected in our governments’ spending priorities, and in law.
+He lays out a path to creating a new Web that is reliable, private, but
+still fun—in order to lock the Web open for good.
