I came across this reference in a book this morning and the April 22 date caught my eye. This article by wired.com was published in 2010. 2010 (already 14 years ago) feels like a big turning point in web technologies as well.In 31 years, look where we are. I was 10 in 93' and discovered a new world through Mosaic, and then Netscape. I was lucky enough to have a family computer, a modem, dial up, and had spent hours and hours on BBS's prior. The rest is history. The web made me. The web made us. Tim Berners Lee, thank you.

Windows 95 was only given a TCP/IP stack and "browser" because of Marc going public with it as company, although they copied theTCP/IP stackf rom FreeBSD and somehow managed to completely fsck it into a buggy mess. Internet Exporer source code is a trip worth reading for the developer folks' comments alone, man there is a lot of swearing in there.

Bill G insisted the internet and this web thing coming about was simply a fad till that happened.. Even children understood better as soon as they were let on to it. I should know, I was one, and it was so blatantly obvious, even to me and many of my childhood friends.

Gotta hand it to Mr. Marc Andreessen
