Lecture
The Web’s Journey: from Creation to Ubiquity
The first Web browser was created in 1991 when Uranus was approaching a conjunction to Neptune in Capricorn. How did this conjunction influence the Web’s future growth and development during the 90s? The great Saturn–Pluto opposition of 2001–02 triggered the commercialisation of the Web, tech giants and later the rise of social media. The set of Uranus–Pluto squares saw the emergence of controversial trends, with cyber crime and bullying at a peak. With the Saturn–Pluto conjunction in Capricorn my lecture examines the Web’s journey – how it became ubiquitous and how we overlooked our privacy along the way – and offers a brief look into its future.
