Diversity is any kind of variety that makes our world a better place. This week, we are celebrating the birthdate of the Internet and more importantly the reason it was born. The key feature of the Internet is being able to click on a link to access information or documents across a network. This system, now called the World Wide Web (or “www” for short) was first proposed this week in 1989, by a British computer scientist named Timothy Berners-Lee.
Scientists are part of a community, and Berners-Lee wanted to find a better way for scientists to share information with each other so they could assist each other in their research. In other words, the ideas of sharing and helping were the original basis of the Internet. The same values of sharing and helping also lie at the core of diversity too. Make sharing and helping a part of the way you interact with your fellow classmates.
Remember, you don’t have to travel as far as the World Wide Web to find diversity. There are hundreds of opportunities to celebrate diversity right here at your own school. Find one today!
