While it's easy to find numerous things wrong while surfing the Web today (popup ads, no consistency between how browsers work, a lack of sites devoted to applesauce), there's one man who has a right to throw in his qualms.
This man is Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web (trumpets should sound now, so turn up your speakers). From the Wikipedia, he is also the director of the World Wide Web Consortium, which oversees its continued development.
Recently, the BCS had a quick Q&A with Berners-Lee to find out what things he feels need to be updated or modified to the Web. While he didn't call for additional applesauce sites, he did make a few interesting comments. I could try to rehash them here, but I would probably miss the key one that affects you the most.
The one thing I will mention, however, is that according to Berners-Lee, a Web year is 2.6 months, which means that we're a lot older online than we think!
