The internet is 40
The grand thing that we all take for granted now, the internet, is 40 years old this year. To celebrate, the Guardian Technology has been running a series called Internet at 40. As part of this series they have just published a rather nice interactive People’s history of the internet made up of user contributions and the Guardian’s own research and interviews. It’s really interesting. There was a lot of life before the web (20 years worth in fact) but perhaps the most fun bit is to look at the development of that particular part of the internet since 1989….Hamster Dance anyone?
