Reflection on Weaving the Web

Tim Lee is responsible for creating the world wide web. I think he is a very smart man and is truly briliant. At first he really dint come from a family who had everything who was rich, and when he came up with this idea it gave so much to every orginization who was part of his plan. As i read chapeter one he talks about his parents being the first ones to ever complete to build a computer. So i figured he had many help from his parents as he created the whole world wide web. Tim Lee says that compute rare ment for you to program it and to make it do mostly everything. After reading chapter one and makes me want to read it more and to learn more of how didi tim lee came up with the idea.

My opinion on digitizing books

Its intresting that google wants to digitize every book so that the people can go in their website and find every book they can. In my opinion I see some good and some bad things about digitizing books because if you digitize every book your breaking some privacy for the author of the book especially when the author doesnt know. The good things that come from this is that it makes it easier for us to just go to the internet and find our book we were looking for instead of heading to the library to check it out. Its also bad if google will try charge people for this books because google is digitizing this books without the person of the author so google will be getting all of the money and the author wont get anything. So i think thats unfair.
