💬 Deine Erfolgsgeschichten
I started mentally thanking Tim Berners-Lee for inventing the World Wide Web whenever I used the internet. It transformed my relationship with technology from entitlement to appreciation. Now I find myself noticing and appreciating other inventors - from the person who created zippers to the team behind refrigeration. It's made me feel connected to this amazing chain of human progress.
