WWW is 15 today! oh no, you know what teenagers are like

Well I am sure tons of other bloggers have already picked up on this but I just can’t let today go past without wishing Happy Birthday to the World Wide Web and passing on my take on it.

Yep today it’s 15 years old!!

Now when my daughter was 15 she had fully morphed into “teenager from hell” or some kind of visiting alien from another planet who had invaded her body, anyway, needless to say, she was an absolute joy to live with NOT!!! But that’s a whole other blog so I won’t go into that too much here because you came here for some light reading right? not for me to depress you so much you have a crap day.

I have to report that the alien entity that was my daughter has moved on to fresher pastures (I feel for whichever parent got it) and my now 20 year old daughter really is a joy and a great friend.

So what can we expect from our ‘www’ 15 year old? the internet equivalent of acne? tantrums over nothing.. you switch on your computer, go get yourself a spiffy IE page, Firefox page, – insert your browser of choice here, page – and instead get that annoying page telling you it can’t be loaded, you know the one, perhaps it may be slightly different from now on? for instance:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Seriously, isn’t it amazing, only 15 years old – I am one of those that do not think they could cope without my daily cruise around the internet – I am online for most of the day during the week (I do work online so have some excuse, but still).

Can you remember back to “before”? what did you do with your day/night?

I mean, for instance, almost everything I do is typed – I had to sign for something in a shop the other day, I could barely write let alone remember how my signature goes!

Anyway, join me in wishing WWW a very happy birthday (and please be nice to us LOL).
