Celebrate the birthday of the Web!!
Twenty years ago, you didn’t know that your life would change so. The incredible network was born in Switzerland, thanks to a computer scientist Tim Berners Lee. In the beginning, the network was created to share researche and results between researchers only. The goal was to link all the researchers and permit them to have access to more knowledge. He proposed this idea in 1989. His boss described it as “ vague but exciting” but it was accepted. In 1990 they created the hypertext language with the “http” and the first web browser: the World Wide Web was born. Today our browsers are still as similar as their senior; only quality and quickness are new.
The public had access to this incredible and revolutionary invention in 1991. Since it’s a real business today, it irritates some of its inventors. They are worried about commercial deviations and about problems of privacy. Let’s not forget that we are more than 1.6 billion people throughout the world, using the internet. So, the stakes are considerable, because the internet has grown to become an inevitable tool. In fact evolution doesn’t stop improving and inventing more and more options: to communicate for free, to share videos and photos, find all information in one click and the like. Our way of life is totally different now and it cannot be imagined without the internet.
So we wish the web a very Happy Birthday and we are thankful for its existance.
