Beneath the Surface of the World Wide Web

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the how-it-came-to-be dept.

This one was sent in byAnt: a rather charming timeline-style history of the World Wide Web from 1989 to the present at W3history.org . It's full of both well-known and little-known facts. Read it in English or German, your choice.

    Great timeline, but it's all wrong! Here's the right one:


    1999 - Al Gore invents internet
    2000 - World ends.

    Yes! They have it right! A big page with "Loading - please wait..." appears, and for a long, long time, nothing happens. Now that's a good history of the World Wide Web.
