In the introduction of the first article, the author compares the web to democracy, thus turning it to the product of human rights rather than the technology.
The universality is the foundation of the operation of webs because the web is in every corner of our society for sure. Almost all kinds of information and tools can be accessible to all people. But the problem is that the isolation, as well as the monopoly of the information, is wearing down the universality little by little. Therefore, an open standard is a must. Openness guarantees the diverse richness of the web design, the liberty of people and innovation of the society.
Simultaneously, separating the web from the Internet is necessary. They should not be bound tightly together. Otherwise, it will also prevent innovation due to the limit of development space. The best way of developing the web, according to the author, is to let the two layers of technology “work together and advance independently”.
The achievement of human rights, which is the most significant part of the development of the web, includes removing commercial discrimination and protecting the privacy of web users.
Fortunately, the totalitarian governments, the law institutions, the companies, and the public are making joint efforts to improve the situation. A bright future is there to be taken.
As for the next article, I’ve learned that the setting of a data center is not only related to the economic and politic factors, but also the climates or something. Jurisdiction over user data, which is a new-proposed idea, remains an issue in the international environment. Moreover, the USA somehow remains the depute center of the issue related to its economic interests.
