One of the biggest problems in developing countries is the availability of clean water.

Here at home, we just open the tap.

We even have clean water in our toilet bowls (how smart is that?)

Take a look @ some websites that promote clean water:

As a high school student, your entire life has been impacted by the World Wide Web. The web has had a profound effect on almost everything you do including providing an incredible social and entertainment experience. In fact, I just read that 16 year olds no longer feel a need to get a driver's license because they are already sufficiently connected to their social community through social networking sites like myspace and facebook.

And who do we have to thank for this? One person. Tim Berners-Lee invented the web, 20 years ago.

Watch an interview with him @ http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00n4j0r

Leave a comment about one thing that you learned from Tim.
