I\u2019ve got a lot of nerdy friends. One<\/a> of them is on chatting terms with Sir Tim. Who is Tim you might ask? Well if you have to ask, then you probably aren\u2019t that interested in technology. We are talking TBL here\u2026 Tim Berners-Lee<\/a>. The man behind the World Wide Web.<\/p>\n

Now, that is an idea that most have heard of. If not, how are you reading this? The World Wide Web is an invention that has permeated our entire society. We are producing, consuming and sharing content on an enormous scale. All due to his proposal from March 1989, according to several sources (2 pages on wikipedia: Tim Berners-Lee<\/a> and WWW<\/a>). The name could have been Information Mesh, The Information Mine (TIM \u2013 a reference to his Name?), Mine of Information (MOI \u2013 moi is me in French!), but they settled on World Wide Web. A name that most people only pronounce as the web, WWW or W3.<\/p>\n

So let us skip back to my friend again. He just happened to chat with Tim this weekend, and suddenly he remembered to ask. \u201dHey, if we would like to celebrate the WWW, what date should we do that on?\u201d<\/p>\n

His reply?<\/p>\n

\u201dMarch 13!\u201d (The exact language was a bit more engineer like)<\/p>\n

So this Friday the Web as we know it will be 20 years old.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s all write together now\u2026 CONGRATULATIONS,<\/p>\n

and thank you Sir Tim.<\/p>\n

My employer Computas<\/a> also wanted to talk about this event so they created this little newsitem (in Norwegian) World Wide Web fyller 20 \u00e5r fredag den 13.!<\/a><\/p>\n

Update:
\nA lot of other sites also mentions this little item:
\nDagbladet.no – Gratulerer med dagen, WWW!<\/a> (in Norwegian)
\nComputerworld.no – Gratulerer, world wide web!<\/a>(in Norwegian)
\ndigi.no – Weben fyller 20 \u00e5r i dag<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
