The very first website is 35 years old today, and you can still visit it at http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html!
"On August 6, 1991, the first website was introduced to the world. [It] contained information about the World Wide Web Project. It launched at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, where it was created by British computer scientist @timbl@w3c.social."
Happy birthday, web!

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online @timbl@w3c.social I'm sorry, but the decline of www is unstoppable. www meant not world wide web, it means, world wide warehouse (shoping mall) nowaday. It's not again the internet itself, just whole websites that builed to selling bullshit and cheer on capitalism. regard tunda
