#100

a software engineer dreams up the world wide web

swiss alps, 1980-tim berners-lee (b. 1955) cobbled together a coding system-HTML
(hyper text markup language)and designed an addressing scheme that gave each web page a unique location.
URL (universal resource locator) and he hacked a set of rules that permitted these documents to be linked together
on computers across the internet -HTTP (hyper text transfer protocol)

and on the 7th day...berners-lee assembled the world wide web's 1st browser-which allowed users anywhere to view
his creation on their screens.

aug. 6,1991 the web made a debut...

within 5 years?

users went from 600,000 to 40 million

PS: growing exponentially since

PSS: since christmas 2009
it has grown exponentially

plus one

PSSS: sumptin' something tells me that 100 years from now this will move way up on the list

(of course, by then time magazine will be monikered:

HA HA THE MAYANS WERE WRONG)
