Aleks Krotoski examines the growth of the World Wide Web and asks if its levelling potential is being challenged by old hierarchies

Since its birth almost twenty years ago, the World Wide Web has transformed our world : A quarter of the planet is now online and able as never before to communicate, publish, and garner information seemingly without limits. But will the Web’s empowerment of ordinary people endure? As part of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s internet season, the computer expert Doctor Aleks Krotoski starts her four part series by documenting the Web’s remarkable growth and asking if the old hierarchies it challenges are managing to stage a counter revolution.
