Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web, has confessed that the // in a web address were actually “unnecessary”. He told the Times newspaper that he could easily have designed URLs not to have the forward slashes. “There you go, it seemed like a good idea at the time,” he said. He admitted that when he devised the web, almost 20 years ago, he had no idea that the forward slashes in every web address would cause “so much hassle”. His light-hearted apology even had a green angle as he accepted that having to add // to every address had wasted time, printing and paper.

Giant machines made gigantic piles of money. There were more people who could get a giant machine and thus there were too many giant machines. Once there were too many giant machines, people started making money without buying a giant machine. They started marketing and selling what those giant machines made. Today we have both – giant machines and sellers and both are happily married.

Once upon a time, internet was run by coders and inventors. As time passed, there were more coders, people started “needing more” and there were more people online and along came the sellers seeing a goldmine. And there came the free market or the freemium market. All coders are not businessman to make money in the Freemium model and all businessman are not coders. And they are getting married to help each other live happily.
