What would the world be today without the Internet? For starters, you could be reading this, or communicate with your friends through messaging applications, or videos of kittens.
A day like today, but 25 years ago, ordinary people had access for the first time to the network and since then it has come to change the way we interact with others, consume products and information, it is why Internauta Day is celebrated every August 23.
Here 15 data might not know about the web
– In 1980, the British engineer Tim Berners-Lee created a database for CERN (CERN for its French acronym). Years later, was commissioned to do the same for researchers around the world to share information and August 23, 1991, it opened to the public. Was 35 when he did
-. The Internet and web is not the same. The first relates to the infrastructure that enables information to be sent through different devices despite being thousands of kilometers away. The second refers to the space in which the information is stored, for example web pages
-. WWW means World Wide Web, which could be translated as a global network
– Two years after the WWW was opened to the public, its code was free of copyright so that anyone could use it
-. you can still visit the first website that was created. In it, it explains what the web, how it is used and how it was built
-. At first, Berners-Lee wanted to name his project “The Information Mesh” or “The Information Mine”.
– url’s (uniform resource locator, for its acronym in English) were created by Berners-Lee to better organize the web. However, regrets bars add “//” at the beginning of each url, believing that it is a waste of time
-. Another one of the elements necessary for the birth of the World Wide Web, was the language HTML (hypertext markup language, for its acronym in English) that could be written by humans and interpreted by computers and transfer protocol hypertext HTTP , which allows contact a web page for the server down information
-. the first image that was uploaded to the network was a picture of a band of CERN called Les Horribles Cernettes and was Tim Berners-Lee who the published
-. Robert Cailliau, who worked with Berners-Lee in web development and designed the first logo was also the first surfer
-. in 1994, a year after the code was free, there were fewer than 3,000 web sites. In 2014, more than one billion were counted
-. In 1991, only one percent of the population had access to the network, today more than 50 percent can use.
– In recent years, Berners-Lee has worked as an activist for free internet access a human right
-. In 2004, he received the rank of Knight Commander, . second highest in the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II
– Berners-Lee and Nigel Shadbolt, one of the principal investigators on artificial intelligence, are part of the British project data. gov.uk, consisting of public do almost all the information that the British government collects for people to have access to it.
