Here it is. Not very exciting, except there was nothing else to compare it to :D.

And exactly 20 years ago on April 30, the inventor of the World Wide Web (Tim Berners-Lee) announced that  world wide web technology would be available on a royalty-free basis.

Sure has been a lot happening since then ;D.

Well, I ain't a fan of Al Gore, but in fairness ...


  • He never made any claims about the World Wide Web (which isn't quite the same thing as the internet).
  • He never claimed to have invented the internet, although lots of people say he did make that claim.
  • What he claimed was that he created the internet.

That was a poor choice of words. What he actually did, as a politician, was promote the development and expansion of the internet when most people thought it was just a way for scientists to communicate with each other. And he promoted it for a quarter century.

Just imagine what a poor choice it would have been if he was elected president!   :o :o
