Today on 30th anniversary of World Wide Web (www) I
realize what our lives would have been without this invention. World Wide Web
was invented by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. He wrote his first
web browser in 1990 while employed in CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. It was
released to general public in August 1991. This was the beginning of “A New
revolution”.
This is commonly known as ‘web”, basically a space to store
the documents and data. These are accessible via internet connection and the
data is used to operate this web. These are used by applications called “Web
Browsers”, like Internet explorer, Mozilla and Chrome. These web browsers are identified by Uniform
Resource Locators; these are accessible via internet connections. These web
browsers stored the web sites which could be opened on request. These websites
contained the necessary data, images and documents. These websites have unique
domain name which were used to open them on the web browsers.
By 1988, the first direct IP connection between Europe and
North America came into being and in 1989; Tim Berners Lee issued a proposal
for the possibility of a web-like system called “MESH”
Just imagine what our
lives would have been without this invention. No Wattsapp ! No Face book! No
Emails ! No No No ! What a peace of mind! I still imagine
those days when children used to play outdoor games, read novels and books, and
above all when people used to chitchat with their friends in the evening in gardens
and balconies. Our mothers and grandmothers used to spend time in making
sweaters, doing embroideries etc because they were not busy on mobiles andlaptops.
I still remember as a child when I used to play games like
Gulli-Danda, Dibba-down, express, badminton, Galli-cricket, cycling etc. There was
only one cycle in the family of four children and we used to take rounds in
shifts. Today, after visualizing all these small and young children suffering from
mobile-addiction and laptop-addiction, I feel that those old days should come
back and the whole world should be blessed with happiness again.
