Today they hail the birth of the Web 30 years ago.
March 12, 1989 — the birthdate of the World Wide Web. You see that proclaimed all over the Internet.
I, thinking, beg to differ. 😯
12 March 1989 doesn’t even rate as Web Conception Day, folks. But if it did, then we would have to agree that life begins at conception, no?
Folks, 03/12/89 is the day Tim Berners-Lee (now Sir) announced the WWW concept. It took a few more months for that baby to be born.
So save the cake and candles. Can the speeches. Today is only Web Conception Proclamation Day.
PS: This post is today’s hands-on-this-is-how-you-do-it lesson on critical thinking. You’re welcome. Now do us all a favor and help spread a little more accuracy-and-truth on this ubiquitous “thing” known as the Web.
(I dare say you didn’t think to slip in a pro-life, anti-abortion message into Web30. It’s alright; you can admit it.) 😀
