10 Years of the World Wide Web

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday March 14, 2003 @04:30AM from the waiting-for-godot dept.

NCSA Mosaic was first released ten years ago today (oh, I guess you could mark time from the 1.0 release, but who's counting), marking the first milestone in the evolution of the graphical World Wide Web. HTTP was originally developed between 1989-1991, but didn't take off until there was a useful browser which could display inline images. You can still download old versions of Mosaic from browsers.evolt.org. So, all you folks who think you have a real handle on technological progress: what will information-access-over-electronic-networks look like in 2013?

Everything on eVolt, including the bandwidth-hungry browser archive, is developed and maintained by volunteers. All the servers, bandwidth, etc. is donated or purchased with donations. I hope the high and mighty at /. dope a dime in the cup for the beating those poor servers are about to receive.
evolt.org's success has brought about costs which our volunteers are unable to meet without your help. None of the volunteers are paid for their work - all money is put to use in providing evolt.org's services. Please support evolt.org.
