November seems to be the month for media remembrance. This month we have been revisiting film of violent events. 30 years since the murder of John Lennon, 47 years since the assassination of John Kennedy, 15 years since the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. In November we also commemorate Remembrance Day.
For me, November brings back memories of my first visit to the USA. One month after that visit John Kennedy was killed. Three months after my second visit to the USA in 2001, 3000 people were killed in the Twin Towers.
However, we should also commemorate in November the flowering of one man's far-sighted vision for a collaborative, interactive and peaceful world. 20 years ago Tim Berners-Lee published a formal proposal for the World Wide Web.
