It is sometimes hard to remember or believe that the internet didn’t exist as recently as thirty years ago and that because of the rate of online change, what we now know as the net is very, very different to the way it was back then.
It’s therefore quite an oddity that the net as it is now far closer to the original concept that the man who is widely credited with inventing the World Wide Web (Tim Berners-Lee) had back in the late eighties. He anticipated that the net would be a place where people all over the world would be able to interact with one another.
