The history of the World Wide Web. 1989-2000. “<w3history> is an open project and a work in progress. You will be able to look over the shoulders of the editors and producers and experience the creation of the site as it happens. The ultimate goal of the project is a comprehensive history of the Internet and the WWW over the past ten years by the end of this year. In order to achieve this goal, <w3history> will be continually updated and expanded throughout the year. The project is open to any suggestions, hints and pointers you may have to offer. We’re always on the lookout for stories and material related to the development of the World Wide Web.” Among other things, here’s the original proposal of the WWW, by Tim Berners-Lee.

Microsoft legend says that this machine once lived under the desk of the site’s first official administrator, Mark Ingalls, but like most legends that’s only half true…”

“The Internet continues to change the face of the conventional media. Take the Toronto television market, where for the last 18 months viewers have been able to catch up on the news by turning to a 24-hour cable television station that looks more like a World Wide Web page than a traditional video screen.
