SPEAKER 1: I remember building
my first Geocities website.
There was something about
building that and showing it
to people and being, like, hey,
this is something that I made.
SPEAKER 2: I remember creating
silly little apps that
would do things, like have a
cat face that would meow at you
whenever you clicked on it.
SPEAKER 3: When I was a kid, I
used to love mechanical toys,
because it was easy to pull them
apart and see how they worked.
When I started to work on
the web, I felt that again.
I felt like I was able to open
it up and see how it worked.
SPEAKER 4: What I love about
the web is how quickly it's
changing and how I
get to be sitting
on the leading edge of it.
SPEAKER 5: I reckon
the one thing
I love the most about the
web is the fact that anybody
can put up a site.
SPEAKER 6: Anyone can just pick
up a tutorial and within, like,
10 minutes, they've got
a website, something
visible on screen.
SPEAKER 2: Having
the ability to talk
to someone that's
in a completely
different part of the world,
having them contribute
to your project.
SPEAKER 1: Being able to just
imagine something and build it.
It can also be frustrating,
because sometimes there
are tools and things like that
that you want to use that maybe
aren't available yet.
And you can sort of see them
off there in the future.
Maybe one browser
implements them, but not
all the other ones.
SPEAKER 3: The real frustrating
experience about the web
is anything that gets
in the way of content.
SPEAKER 5: It's this
massive, inconsistent area
of APIs and technologies.
SPEAKER 6: Everything
has a catch.
Like if you want service
workers, you need TLS.
If you want push, that's fine,
but you can't have payload.
If you want payload,
you have to encrypt it.
SPEAKER 3: When a
website says, hey,
do you want to go and download
our native app, that's
such a bad experience,
because I'm already there.
I'm already asking
you for the content.
It would be like
going into a shop
and having the thing, like
a Kit Kat, in your hand,
and you go to the checkout,
and they say, hey,
would you like to go
to our shop in Norwich?
I'm like, no.
No, I'm at this shop now.
SPEAKER 5: When I think
about the future of the web,
it's always about that promise.
And it's not been
fulfilled yet-- that idea
that everybody on the
planet can communicate.
SPEAKER 2: The
next billion users,
people that are in other
parts of the world that
maybe don't have as good
network connectivity as we do.
SPEAKER 5: Making
things faster, making
things more accessible-- these
are really important challenges
that we're facing.
SPEAKER 4: Chipping away at
some of the old, preconceived
notions.
SPEAKER 5: We try and
listen, and we try and drive
conversations.
That just makes my day.
SPEAKER 2: I'd love to see
more people doing that,
like just empowering other
people to build awesome stuff.
SPEAKER 4: We're going to be
able to build apps that we've
never even dreamed of before.
SPEAKER 1: I think it's
cool, though, to be
living through this
period in time right now.
I think generations will
look back and be like, wow,
that's like an inflection
point for humanity,
when suddenly, communication
became global and instant.
Yeah.
