According to Ben, it is important to teach kids HTML. ʻOne <strong>of</strong> the great things <strong>of</strong> the web<br />
is that you can hack it.ʼ It is important to view the source. Moskowitz and his team are<br />
working on a way to make it easier to understand how the Internet works. They want to<br />
ʻpull back the curtainʼ and get people more involved in coding and being active. Mozilla,<br />
a global non-pr<strong>of</strong>it dedicated to putting you in control <strong>of</strong> your online experience and<br />
shaping the future <strong>of</strong> the Web for the public good, is putting a lot <strong>of</strong> effort in this. ʻIt exist<br />
to promote openness, Fire fox is the main way we do this. It has really exceeded to open<br />
up the browser.ʼ The homepage <strong>of</strong> Mozilla says: ʻMozilla is all about keeping the web<br />
open and free for everyone, everywhere. Our work is protecting the web from<br />
exploitation, centralization and control.ʼ<br />
As you can see, Ben Moskowitz and his team at Mozilla are doing a great job by keeping<br />
the web open and creating ʻrealʼ web video. If you want to see more <strong>of</strong> his projects, there<br />
will be a new Open Video Conference soon. Unfortunately he could not tell us yet when,<br />
but weʼll wait and see!<br />
