Happy Birthday Internet!

Slashdot reported today that the internet is now "officially 16 years old!"



GuNgA-DiN writes, "Today marks the 16th anniversary of the World Wide
Web. According to the timeline on the W3.org site: 'The first web page
[was] http://nxoc01.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html.
Unfortunately CERN no longer supports the historical site. Note from
this era too, the least recently modified web page we know of, last
changed Tue, 13 Nov 1990 15:17:00 GMT (though the URI changed.)' A lot
has happened in 16 years and this little 'baby' has grown into quite
the teenager."



To be honest I can remember back to my Super Nintendo days thinking - "Wow, Duck Hunt rules! There's never going to be a cooler game." Needless to say I was wrong - but then again I was only 13 sixteen years ago (am I old?) Still, I am constantly amazed at the progression of the web - it seems I come across things daily that seem really progressive, pushing the limit of what we are already doing on the web today. I wonder what the next 16 years hold; what will the internet be like when it turns the ripe old age of 32?! I am guessing that Duck Hunt will still be a great game.
