History of the internet
 

 

Did you know that you are looking at the VERY FIRST photo ever published on the web!

Here's the story.

Back in 1992, after their show at the CERN Hardronic Festival, my colleague Tim Berners-Lee asked me for a few scanned photos of "the CERN girls" to publish them on some sort of information system he had just invented, called the "World Wide Web". I had only a vague idea of what that was, but I scanned some photos on my Mac and FTPed them to Tim's now famous "info.cern.ch". How was I to know that I was passing an historical milestone, as the one above was the first picture ever to be clicked on in a web browser!"

Apparently the first chat room question ever asked went something like...
"Anyone interested in a fuck?" :D

Ah. The good ole days. I'm a fan of cutting to the chase.
