== '''The open web is participatory, transparent, decentralized and generative.''' ==
'''The open web is:'''
=== '''Fueled by participation, in ideas, energy or media from more than a billion Internet users.''' ===
*in the open web--anyone can request and receive access to information you *users can look inside things to see how they work (i mean open-source but am looking for a non-tech buzzword way to say it)
*web example: user generated content: millions of users around the world add to shared knowledge (by contributing to wikipedia)
*non-web example: a town hall meeting where anyone can raise their hand and join the conversation
=== '''Built on transparent technologies that anyone can study, use or improve. ''' === *anyone can create content, code or devices
*web example: anyone can create content, code or devices *web example run
*non-web example: a recipe book anyone can cook from and innovate with
Decentralized in both architecture and control, ensuring continued choice and diversity. ===
*user choice for which programs to run
*the consumers are also producers
*web example: you choose which operating system to use and programs to install
*non-web example:
The generative nature of web means we can all take existing parts of the Internet into something that is our own. ==
*web example: you can remix content together--photos, videos, music can be mashed up to create new content
*non-web example: a box of legos that can be re-shaped into new things at any point
The open web is a powerful tool for change. · ==
*Lets a single idea achieve global impact
*The Internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible.
