Open source code fundamental principle of Internet and Gaia Capitalism
Internet is pure Gaia Capitalism. Business, and the way it is conducted, is fundamentally different than business in the physical world. The Internet is based on open source code, copying & pasting and encouraging everyone to share and contribute.
The computer language of the Internet started out as free and open texting code called html (hyper text markup language). Based on standard printer typesetting coding, it is a very simple Internet computer language, allowing the means to control not only the data on a page, but how that data is presented to the viewer.
It all began with this:
<html>
</html>
and then to this:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

When I taught html and web design and structure, my common line was, “I’m convinced that one 14-year old boy sat down in 1970 or so (?) and wrote the world's first web page – a blank page. No one remembers all the black pages with gold type we called web pages, but because the computer language they are written in is open page source code, everyone has since copied and pasted what they wanted or could use, built more and shared it back into cyberspace. Today, bits of that original source code, like mitochondrial DNA, exist now within the source code of every single web page in existence."
