On this day 30 years ago, the Internet as we recognize it got rolling with the implementation of the World Wide Web. Today it’s rather ubiquitous and only elderly people bother to put the three Ws or ‘http://’ in front a site. It’s not necessary because browsers and the Internet’s infrastructure knows where you want to go.
I remember pretty well what I was doing. I was enjoying my junior year at Marquette with a cool internship at WQFM, basking in Milwaukee’s improving weather and generally being unimpressed with what computers did beyond TRON and Ultima. I guess I got on the winning team in time to have a viable career.
