Thanks to the World Wide Web, the entire world is today connected in a completely new way.
Berners-Lee, who invented the World Wide Web in 1989, wrote an article in Wired magazine saying that it was worth celebrating the fact that half of the world’s population had access to it, but it was worth reflecting on how much further the Internet still needed to go. Although the Internet has brought various benefits to people’s daily lives, those who use it for malicious purposes have begun to harm the world. In a recent speech, Berners-Lee also said that the Internet today is in a problematic adolescence, but the prospects for the future remain bright. Today, Amazon is the world’s largest e-commerce giant, having expanded its business from initially selling books online. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the birth of the World Wide Web, Amazon displayed the website homepage from 1995.
In any discussion surrounding the technological revolution, Bill Gates has always been at the forefront. On Tuesday, he recalled on Twitter that he had found an opportunity to work with Microsoft’s colleagues to shape the future. Gates said, “I was lucky to be young at the beginning of the digital revolution, and my colleagues at Microsoft and I had the opportunity to help shape it.” Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the birth of the World Wide Web has filled me with nostalgia for 1995. ”Google also shared many memories, and the Google Search homepage featured a special design to pay special tribute to this anniversary. Through various tweets, the company emphasized its dominance in web search, email, and video. The commemorative post on BBC Two featured the familiar sound of dial-up internet, which helps people remember how far we have come.
