-=== ''"In the next 10 years, two billion more individuals will come online for the first time, most exclusively through their smartphones"'' ===
+Its [http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/HQ/CI/CI/pdf/Events/netconference_march2015_submissions/C/reference_from_microsoft_cyberspace2025.pdf estimated] that by 2025, there will be close to '''5 billion''' users on the web.

+The open Web - as we know and love it - is in danger. The web is moving towards closed, isolated ecosystems that limit and restrict the users' imagination and creativity, and ultimately the potential of the web for all.
+A glaring example of this was brought to light when Quartz recently [http://qz.com/333313/milliions-of-facebook-users-have-no-idea-theyre-using-the-internet/ reported] that '''millions''' of Facebook users have no idea they’re using the internet.

+It is going to become more important than ever before to protect the web as a global public resource.
+See the [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/ Mozilla Manifesto] for our guiding principles.
-=== ''"The open Web is in danger. On mobile, it is too often a series of walled gardens, closed platforms, and apps that limit creativity"'' ===
+We also believe that it will be equally important to teach critical web literacy skills to promote meaningful participation online in the future.

-=== ''"We believe we need to protect the open web. We believe web literacy skills are critical to meaningful participation online"'' ===
