The web is...?
Out there.
Out there right now, people are answering the question 'The web is...?' And they're doing it in some very imaginative ways.
On YouTube you will find a growing host of video responses to 'The web is...?'
Some from BBC personalities:
Others from web users who have given the web some thought and shared their ideas. From the historically accurate:

It seems like we haven't realized the web has become accidentally the first and most powerful intelligence creature. The information, personal opinions and feelings we all feed into the web each day, gives the it some kind of consciousness. For me the web has no intelligenze in a classical way, but has a collective intelligence in which each user acts like a neuron.
For me the web unites all human beings to a common voice represented by the webs thoughts.

Through the Web the peoples of the World can voice their hopes and aspirations.
I know that sometime it does not appear to be so as governments try to block the web from their people, but by doing this they are acknowledging their fear of the Web and it's power.
People will find ways around this censorship and speak out where injustices to mind and body are committed.
The Web has become the voice of Humanity.
