WWW is 20 years old today.
Where were you on April 30th, 1993 – the day that it was announced the WorldWideWeb would be free?
We were in the army boot camp, crawling through obstacle courses and tossing grenades from behind reinforced walls. It’s all good, we survived.
Twenty years later, the Internet contains several billion pages, some of which are still as bad-looking as that early state of the WorldWideWeb in 1993.
While the web expanded to all directions like a digital Big Bang, some of us miss the old days of gopher, FTP and other cryptic protocols, BBS ASCII bombs and no sight of Google.
The ‘www’ prefix we were told to place before any domain URL, is a 20 year old relic from those times when the WorldWideWeb was first introduced.
Happy 20th anniversary, WWW! 😀
