For those who don't know, today (March 12, 2014) is the 25th anniversary of the invention of the World Wide Web by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Happy 25th Anniversary, World Wide Web!Image

He made a nice little post to commemorate it over on Google's blog:

He's also setup a neat little website to commemorate it. (When it's not getting hugged to death by enormous amounts of traffic)

Here's a nice article talking about Sir Berners-Lee's original proposal. Very cool.

And here's a gallery of the first versions of many popular web pages. I'm not embarrassed to say, I remember using many of these when they looked like that. Did I mention I'm an old fart?
