The world has been transformed by the advent of the Internet 20

August 6, 2011 is the 20 anniversary of the birth of the Internet. 20 years ago August 6, the founder of the internet, Tim Berners, published in Alt.hypertext News Group A brief post about WorldWideWeb project, announcing the birth of the Internet. From that moment on, our world has changed dramatically.

When Berners was working at CERN in the 1980s, he was looking for a way to share information around the world without the need for a specific device. The 1989 document, in a proposal he proposed "a large hypertext Database", which is the embryonic form of the internet today.

Although the initial proposal failed to obtain the support of CERN, Berners a file format linked to hypertext links on the basis of its original proposal, which was eventually named the World Wide Web Wide. The network envisioned in this document is used for a variety of purposes, such as "File registration, online Help, project documentation, news planning, and so on." "However, Berners and his partner, the Belgian computer scientist Robert Cailliau, have a long-term vision of the future potential uses of the World Wide Web, and they do not want to give the new technology a specific purpose so as not to limit its future development."

In 1990, Berners developed and ran a multimedia browser (as shown below) and a web editor on a next computer. By the end of 1990, Berners had been able to run a prototype on a CERN server.

Everything is in the wind.

August 6, 1991, Berners established the first website (also the world's first site) http://info.cern.ch/quietly online. It explains what the World Wide Web is, how to use a Web browser and how to build a Web server, and so on. In fact, most people around the world didn't even know what the Internet was. Today in Google Groups we can see how Berners explained this:

WWW project integrates information retrieval and hypertext technology, and constructs a simple but powerful global information system.

The guiding principle of the project is that many academic information should be open to anyone for free. Its purpose is to allow information to be shared and disseminated.

This post explains how to download the browser and advises users to visit http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html to start the Internet tour. Although this page is no longer visible today, a year later this post gives a novice guide to many people who first contacted the internet.

The evolution of the Internet

The first picture on the internet (a French women's band) was uploaded by Berners in 1992.

By 1993, there were only 200 websites on the internet. This year, CERN announced that anyone could use the Internet without cost-a key factor that later had a huge impact on the world.

In the internet but the first two years there are many Web browsers, the most famous is mosaic. It came out in 1993 and is compatible with Unix,commodore Amiga,windows and Mac OS.

Mosaic's success led Marc Andreessen, the mosaic programmer, to set up Netscape, and the first commercial browser, Netscape Navigator, and the Easy-to-use browser to promote the growth of business ISP business, Ultimately, the devices that make the Internet Exchange data from scientists become what we know today to be relevant to our lives.

The internet has evolved from the original static HTML file network to a changing information organism, which includes a variety of technologies, such as PHP and ASP database systems that can dynamically display data, and flash that handles streaming media and updatable pages, all of which expand our expectations of the Internet.

The internet has become a part of our daily lives, changing the way we communicate and becoming a key factor in changing the way the global economy and society are made. The European Nuclear Research Center's decision to keep the Internet open was perhaps the biggest gift to the world.

Where does the web's future network go in the next 20 years? Semantic Network "is a vision of the future of the Internet, in such a network, information has been given a clear meaning, the machine can automatically process and integrate information available on the Internet, some people believe that the core technology of WEB3.0 is the semantic network.

"The Internet of Things" is also a direction of the future web. As the name suggests, "The Internet of Things is an object connected to the network", the Internet of Things will help to connect the virtual world of the traditional web and the real world, bring us a new world.

We cannot accurately predict what will happen to the Internet in the future, but no matter what happens, it is part of the historical wheel of the internet rolling forward. Happy 20 birthday, Internet!
