Twenty Years Ago Today the World Wide Web Went Public

Twenty years ago today, something happened that changed the digital world forever: CERN published a statement that made the technology behind the World Wide Web available to use, by anybody, on a royalty free basis.

That decision, pushed forward by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, transformed the internet, making it a place where we can all freely share anything and everything—from social media updates, through streamed music, to YouTube videos of cats. It has fundamentally shaped the way we communicate.

To celebrate the momentous occasion of 20 years ago, CERN—the same guys behind all those experiments at the Large Hadron Collider—has republished its very first website at its original URL. It’s not much to look at—but it’s a fine reminder of just how much the web has changed in the past twenty years.

In fact, the republishing of that site is part of a broader project to excavate and preserve a whole host of digital gems that remain from the inception of the web. You can go read a lot more about the project over on CERN’s site.

It is super weird to me that I am older than the internet.

its a fucking strawberry

No. This is someone dying while having an MRI scan. Before you die, your brain releases tons and tons of endorphins, making you feel a range of emotions that turn you into a red strawberry.  Tragically beautiful.

CHECK YOUR RIPENED FRUIT PRIVILEGE

SHIET

Fun fact: When I get an erection, my penis does this exact same transformation

It grows 1/16 of an inch bigger?
