The World Wide Web has matured as it is decades old. Its inventor, Tim Berners-Lee tends to stay quiet and doesn't say too many proclamations. But when he does, he says things that should concern the overall web.
Berners-Lee imagined the web as an open platform that would allow everyone, everywhere to share information, access opportunities and collaborate across geographic and cultural boundaries.
The internet is growing, and nevertheless the number of people who are using it is also increasing. With the internet playing a more important role in how most of these people receive information, fake ones can cause a chain reaction that turn bad to worse.
We're seeing more fake news and information around the web, and they've been shared more than plenty.
Some people may not take viral social media news so seriously. But the problem is, many of other people do.
Artificial Intelligence or AI, is one of the most anticipated technology of the future. What it does is making computers smarter by learning things the way humans do.
Tech industry is volatile, and that goes the same with IT. Kaskus founder Ken Dean Lawadinata has resigned from being the Chairman of PT Darta Media Indonesia, the company that operates the largest Indonesian online community Kaskus.

There is nothing more human than humans. We're all curious creatures walking the surface of a planet that has before been the place for our ancestors. We can control fire, create homes, fly airplanes, dive into the deepest sea, climb the highest mountain; go to the orbit. We're all advancing through the ages.
But there is something that never changes, and that is us humans that are always humans, have the need to express.
The internet has indeed grow to more places to reach more people. Decentralized by design, the World Wide Web has however turned into the hands of large corporations and governments. Not what it was meant to be, but the internet has become the "world's largest surveillance network."
There is nothing more the internet could actually provide better than what we already have in real life beside the ease of information and the power of sharing that was once limited to entities with powerful presence. Why would we actually like the web and how it becomes big as it is today is mainly because we love free and accessible things.
The internet is indeed a great big thing. It enables us to get information that is otherwise difficult, it eases communication, transactions and business, helps numerous research and in overall, enhancing the lives we all live in. But what makes the internet a scary place to be is it's nature of being uncontrollable. Anything can be on the web, from the very good to the very bad.
When the internet thrives because people are actively populating it with new things, oversharing is what makes people vulnerable.
