Happy Birthday World Wide Web!

Today is the 20th anniversary of the first web page. Want to see it? Here you go. The way we see it now is different from the way everybody saw it back then because the browsers are so much more sophisticated. We still see the default Times New Roman type, underlined blue active links, underlined purple visited links, no navigation (other than links), no graphics, and no design. What we don't see is the gray background that was the default on the old browsers (modern browsers let come with white background as the default and allow you to change your settings) along with the primitive buttons. The internet has come a long way since going public in 1991. I have been lucky enough to be along for the ride since 1992 or 1993 thanks to my years at Michigan Tech, coincidentally the first school in Michigan to get the World Wide Web.
