Mandela, an activist and the first democratically elected president of South Africa, is an icon for peace and forgiveness. He spent 27 years in prison. He was separated from his family and friends. He suffered hard labor, solitary confinement and humiliation at the hands of his captors.</p><p>When he finally became free, it would have been easy for him to give in to hatred. It would have been easy for him to seek revenge. Instead, he chose to forgive and set an example for the world.</p><p>Of course, some things are easy to forgive, but other things are more difficult to let go. Where you stand on whether the next man deserves forgiveness might depend on how much you use the internet.</p><p>In 1994, the internet was still in its infancy. At that time, Ethan Zuckerman was a computer programmer for Tripod.com. Tripod’s biggest achievement was the creation of an easy to use website builder. Tripod offered free websites, and in exchange, Tripod sold ads on their users’ websites.The problem was there were all kinds of tripod websites with all kinds of content.</p><p>When a car company became upset because its ad was appearing on a Tripod website showing sexual content, Ethan found the solution. He would show the ad in a separate window, so advertisers would no longer complain about what kind of website their ad was connected to.</p><p>Ethan created the pop-up ad. These pop-ups are the windows that pop up over internet sites blocking the article you’re trying to read. These ads have been getting under the skin of people all over the world and making their blood boil for years. Who is responsible? Ethan Zuckerman.</p><p>Ethan now regrets creating the pop-up ad, but says, “Our intentions were good.” While this might be true, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.</p><p>Ethan has been accused of ruining the internet. He has even had death threats. He is sorry for what he did, but he now believes the pop-up ad wasn’t his biggest crime. He thinks helping to create an internet where everything is free was far worse.</p><p>Of course, nothing on the internet is truly free. It’s an attention economy. We don’t pay money for services like Gmail, Facebook, and YouTube, but we do pay with the attention that we give to ads. In other words, “When something online is free, you’re not the customer, you’re the product.” Your attention is being sold to advertisers who want to sell products to you. We are drowning in a sea of advertisements that pester us with flashing ads, auto-playing videos, and pop-ups.</p><p>Ethan calls the current advertising fueled internet, “bad, broken, and corrosive.” He believes without advertising the internet would have soon crumbled.
