WWW20

A tiny snippet of news yesterday on the web...

THE World Wide Web (WWW) marked its 20th anniversary Friday and its founders admitted there were parts of it they do not like: advertising and "snooping".
The creation of the web by British computer software genius Tim Berners-Lee and other scientists at the European particle physics laboratory (CERN) paved the way for the internet explosion which has changed our daily lives.


This was one birthday that ought to have had more fuss made over it since I can't think of one single creation or idea in the last generation that has brought about as much revolution in people's lives.
