Copyright C 1984, 1992 Karl R. Popper

Popper is mine. Correct.
Why do we like his thoughts? Why we woud like to write about his philosophy?
Three things are the most important:

1. The third world (the world 3 of Karl Popper).
2.His Open Society.
3.Theory of Falsification (of all the above).

What is 'world 3'? It is the world of the objective products of the human minds, such as blogs, books, tools, works of art, etc. (includinng computers, too). "Made by Human" or "Made by Humanity" or Noosphera of our Russian scientist Academitian Vladimir Vernadskiy.

What Karl Popper could say about this Virtual World 3 of World Wide Web?
What is the ontological status of the WWW's objects? These bits of codes, alghorithms, protocols and atoms of processors, networks, and the Internet infrastructure.
