Another use for the internet...

While parents and teachers moan and groan of the disadvantes of using the internet, I for one continue to identify the advantages.

21 Years of the Web

Who would have thought that an independent contractor in the 1980s would have created the foundations of a revolutionary technology, which changes the way we live? It all began in the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), in Switzerland, when Tim Berners-Lee proposed and built a database of people and software models that can be shared over the Internet using the HyperText. By the end of 1990s, he created the set of elements that build a web page and its access, HTTP and HTML. In fact he also created the first browser - WorldWideWeb. The rest, you can say, is history... with a large commercial undertaking and the growth of servers across academia then the world Now, there exists well over 80 million websites and a growing user base - hundreds of millions. So it's happy 21st birthday to the Web. Celebrate good times.
