The World Wide What? - Narrated by Stephen Fry | The Web Foundation & Founders Forum (Parody)

Have you ever imagined the world without the Web? How would you do homework without Wikipedia? Or commute without CandyCrush? Or even watch this film without YouTube?

The parallel universe of 'World Wide What?' shows us what life would be like for the greatest tech entrepreneurs if Sir Tim Berners Lee had never invented the World Wide Web.

The film, narrated by Stephen Fry, celebrates 10 years of Founders Forum and aims to raise awareness for The Web Foundation.

Well we wouldn't wasted our time watching this, so that's something.

[DustinDestruction]

This was interesting to watch, to say the least! ^.^

Great video although many wouldn't really get it.

Am I the only one that noticed Tim Berners-Lee's computer keyboard doesn't correspond to the time?

“Have you ever imagined the world without the internet?” Guess that question isn't aimed at me, because I was born in the early 80s. My grandparents, parents, and I didn't need to imagine such a world: we lived right in it. Yet, I managed to be a Web developer for the past 18 years. New Web developers these days no longer get my blink tag jokes. :(

Except half of these wouldn't exist without the internet. The selfie would've never taken off. Passwords (as we know them today) wouldn't be what they are. The iPhone would've never been made since phones were only used as phones. The whole bloomberg segment with all the computers wouldn't be real.

I realize this is a parody, but the description is misleading.

[DaveWatts_ejectamenta]

proof that entrepreneurs can't act

[TheStereoField]

This is easily the least funny thing I've seen all week
