I remember when Thomas called me to show me something new: like Gopher, but with hypertext. And I have been on the original web server, Tim Barners-Lee’s NeXT cube.

Technically it’s the Internet’s conception date, not its birthday.

Gotta correct you there. The internet has its roots in the 1970s Arpanet (and maybe even earlier projects). You’re thinking of the World Wide Web (Webpages, HTML, HTTP) that came with Tim-Berners Lee but is built upon the pre-existing internet structures and services.

Its the anniversary of deciding the Internet was not an unwanted child.

The Internet was already a teenager by then. It hooked up with Hypertext and the result was this brat called WWW.

My first WWW experience was trying Mosaic on a computer without an Internet connection. I knew what the Internet was, we had access through an X.25 PAD (kind of like a dial-up shell session, no direct TCP/IP) so I’d already used IRC, Usenet, FTP, Archie, Gopher etc. I also knew what hypertext was from various local help and document browser programs. So I figured out that Mosaic can display HTML documents but of course without Internet connectivity just showing some local demo pages didn’t seem all that special. But I figured it out later on…
