Today in 1991, according to Wikipedia, Tim Berners-Lee released the first web-browser and editor this creating the world-wide-web. From nothing to a tool many people depend on for a living, a sales channel and for booking holidays and keeping contact with family and friends – what a change for humanity. I can remember working in Apple in Cork Ireland in 1994/5 when a friend of mine Jimmy showed my an early pre-1.0 version of Netscapes browser surfing the web. I have been hooked every since, and have made a career as a web-developer since 1996. The web has been good to me and my family; Happy Birthday Internet.
