Imagining the world


Before the web, 13 photographs that changed the world wouldn't have been nearly so interesting.

For one thing, it probably would never have been written--back in the dark ages, ordinary people didn't publish. Second, you probably wouldn't have seen all 13 photos along with the article. Third, there wouldn't have been hundreds of
interesting reader comments.

So there really should be a 14th photo; maybe a screen grab of this page.
