The Web turns 15

Happy birthday, WorldWideWeb. You’re now fifteen years old, still a kid but you’re doing so great.

Fifteen years ago, your father Tim Berners-Lee, who was at the CERN in Switzerland, send an email to Usenet to present a project, the WWW. He showcased you able to “get over the frustrating incompatibilities of data format between suppliers and reader by allowing negotiation of format between a smart browser and a smart server.” And thus, you would “provide a basis for extension into multimedia, and allow those who share application standards to make full use of them across the web.” (via grand gravey)

He wasn’t not just right, he was visionary. Plenty of YouTube, Revver, or Jajah could now exist by you. We hope you won’t forget Net Neutrality (because your father doesn’t) and wish plenty of new web 10.0 interoperable applications.
