The erosion of Web 2.0

sudshr47 June 5, 2018

It seems quaint to imagine now but the original vision for the web was not an information superhighway. Instead, it was a newspaper that fed us only the news we wanted. This was the central thesis brought forward in the late 1990s and prophesied by thinkers like Bill Gates – who expected a beautiful, customized […]

Announce your *real* genetic makeup with the 23andMe meme

23andMe delivers its DNA results via a percentage breakdown. Here’s an example:
