It was twenty years ago today/Tim Berners-Lee has taught the world to play/while 20 years ago he'd sworn/have not been so much porn. That's right – world's first Web site page prototype, written by Sir Tim Berners-Lee way back on 6 August 1991 the then emerging hypertext markup language, celebrates 20th birthday today. And, on this important anniversary, we ask that the Internet wrought?
In the past two decades, we have received in e-commerce and spam we tore down the music, news and publishing industries, and we already have CATS LOLed more than we can count. We've seen empires rise and fall, collapse the distinction between public and private sectors and the end of an enforceable copyright. We have seen new means of communication to push unwanted regimes at home and abroad, and we have heard endless wail million voices calling out immediately, most of them in the comments on this site.
We have also seen a lot of above porn.
Original (original?) page is here and it's a fascinating look at the seed crystal, which is a catalyst for change in the world, we know that in the days of heady travel agents. As porn.
Happy birthday to the Internet. Here are 20 years of happy, healthy.
Update-you guys win. Mea Culpa.
