“Surfers on the Internet are at increasing risk from governments and corporations tracking the sites they visit to build up a picture of their activities.” These are the words of Tim Berners-Lee, a person who is credited with inventing the World Wide Web in 1990. Snooping is a way to find out who people are and what habits they have behind curtains.
The fact is that most of us when surfing the Web do not realize someone is spying our actions. Well, the more developed technology is, the less privacy we have.
What Berners-Lee also emphasizes is that “the Web is not all done, it’s just the tip of the iceberg” and “the new changes are going to rock the world even more.” He has in mind “linked data, in which individual bits of data are machine-readable, not just Web pages they appear on.” According to him such development has a great potential when generating/managing data by a user and can be used in a variety of ways.
