The Web is amazing.

1. The Web is amazing.
2. You can play games with friends
3. on different continents,
4. find answers to any question in seconds,
5. see a live feed of our planet from space,
6. translate languages with a single click,
7. share a recent photo from a fun trip,
8. or tell everyone you know
9. about your cool, new job.
10. But it wasn’t always like this.
11. It wasn’t always a beautiful,
12. infinite world of knowledge and activity.
13. It’s easy to forget how disconnected
14. we were before the Web.
15. It was a lot harder to find
16. and share information.
17. So many of our online experiences today
18. are powered by standards under the hood,
19. fruits of years of collaboration.
20. Without developers working together,
21. we would need different browsers
22. to view different sites,
23. and search engines would be much less powerful,
24. if the Web were split into silos.
25. In fact, it’s safe to assume that
26. without today’s connected tech landscape
27. We’d probably be in the middle
28. of a zombie apocalypse,
29. fending off maniacal desert gangs,
30. and watching our civilization crumble
31. into a seemingly endless vacuum of nothing.
32. A word of advice:
33. Nobody ever beat zombies alone.
34. This glorious Web
35. is our collective responsibility,
36. and we need to treat it as such.
37. It’s a rich, valuable digital world,
38. but it wouldn’t hold together
39. without the standards we use every day.
40. So, how can we take care of it?
41. By taking action.
42. By coding,
43. writing,
44. designing,
45. discussing,
46. and defending the open Web.
47. Thank you for supporting Web standards.
48. Please help us shape the next era.
49. Join our efforts to build an open web platform for the future.
