IT Tech Support - here is how it was in the OLD days!

I have been in the computer field for a LONG, LONG time.

In the old days we didn’t have the Internet. In the old days we only had the Zeroes and Ones. And sometimes we didn’t even have the Ones!

Whenever some new technology gets introduced, there is a learning curve.

Here is an example of the tech support how it was done in the OLD days:

First Internet Web Site - Awesome

While some people may think the Internet was invented by Al Gore, I have to disappoint them. Actually when most people think of the Internet, what they really mean is the World-Wide-Web, that small universe that you can access with Internet Explorer or Firefox or Safari. And that World-Wide-Web was invented by a scientist If there was one site that would change the world for ever, it would be the first ever website, created by internet pioneer Tim Berners-Lee.

It went online on 6 August 1991 offering people help with using the brand new ‘World Wide Web’, rather modestly described as a “wide-area hypermedia information retrieval initiative aiming to give universal access to a large universe of documents”. It’s now archived at www.tinyurl.com/3apuu.

If Berners-Lee had known what was to come, he might have added: “This is going to be awesome!”

Check out that website. It is just the neatest thing to see how the World Wide Web started out from the office of a researcher in Switzerland.
