Party time - Happy birthday internet!
April 30th, 2008 by JimWhen someone reaches 15 they are in their teens but we’ve found an exception.
The internet! Happy birthday and many, many more. A baby no longer but only just as the Adam and Eve of our keyboards takes more steps forward.
The web’s inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee told BBC news that the WWW is still in it’s infancy. Maybe he was referring to wrestling or wildlife? He was speaking ahead of the 15th anniversary of the day the web’s code was put into the public domain by Cern, the lab where the web was developed.
The future web will put “all the data in the world” at the fingertips of every user, Sir Tim said.
“The web has been a tremendous tool for people to do a lot of good even though you can find bad stuff out there.”
Making the web free to use had a vital role in spreading its use worldwide but we do wonder how much $$ COULD Sir Tim have made from his invention.
Where do you see the WWW in the next 15 years? Do tell!
Hello Jim & Em

Translation:
Well I say Governor. Listen right, I was setting off to the East End of London wearing my new suit, when I noticed I had forgotten my toupee. “Have a look at this, David,” I said to my wife, as I pointed to my head.
“You must be joking Elton, not to mention being insane stepping oustide like that!” I knew I had to rectify the situation and quickly, so I said, “This is nothing to worry your pretty little head about David, only I am very hungry and have not had the chance to check the mirror to see how handsome I am on account of the fact that I have been working hard all day long.”
Well I realised this would make him feel rather guilty and I didn’t want that, so I said, “Why don’t we go and have curry for dinner and a few pints of Stella Artois Lager at that splendid Pakistani restaurant we frequent. And then afterwards perhaps we could spend the rest of the night disco dancing. And if you are concerned about having a late night and getting up for work in the morning, why don’t you just tell them you are sick?”
Well David loved the sound of that, and off we went.
Oh dear
Cake, presents, cards, and a good drinking session down the pub (well 3 out of 4 ain’t bad?).
15 years time - thought controlled browsing, data transmitted directly in to the brain via a tiny earpiece or displayed visually on glasses, advertising bilboards that scan your ’signature’ (llike a email address) and adjust accordingly, music and film free to watch or listen to whenever and apple ruling the pc world. Oh and a larger GSTF’s community.
Any odd ones out - i don’t think so as fiction and fact continue to collide at so fast a pace…. unless the ‘badun’s’ blow us all up first that is.
Oh and everyone wil have a photo jigsaw puzzle supplied by us. Knew i’d left something out.
