Well the World Wide Web started 30 years ago today. It's been an amazing journey, most of it good, I certainly have enjoyed using it. Thanks to Tim Berners-Lee and no doubt a team of like minded individuals. I now hear Tim BL has been thinking more about the down side of the web and wonders if there should have been more controls, but I wonder how we'd manage without it?!

It's the level of sophistication since the original inception that I find quite boggling. From basic text with hyperlinks to YouTube, interactive pages that you can use to do your shopping, search facilities that will turn up the most obscure facts. Imagine if we had to go back to even the original basic type pages that were the WWW. You'd have to read your Site Guide and then phone to make a booking!

It's strange I can't really remember how I first started to engage with the internet, I think it was the introduction of small forum type things or exchanging information (in my own case family history research.) This was probably when some of the wildly inaccurate input started mixed in with the remarkably accurate stuff. Fascinating to recall. smile
