Today marks an anniversary of the invention that most of us (sadly) nowadays cannot live without. Think Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, that other one and then the one before that... Long, stressful hours of dialling up your modem to be replaced by equally infuriating WIFI connection, kids feeling punished by being told to leave the computer, go OUTSIDE and play, COD, FIFA, noobs and your mum telling you to get off the internet because she needs to use the phone. That's right folks, The World Wide Web is 25 today.

Today marks an anniversary of the invention that most of us (sadly) nowadays cannot live without. Think Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, that other one and then the one before that...

That's right folks, The World Wide Web is 25 today. By Liam Murphy Unless you've been living in a cave and blindfolded, you will no doubt have heard of a small company working out of Mountain View, California, named Google. Named after a googol (or 10100 for you non-math geeks among us), Google's business is the Internet. Whether you are searching online, watching media, using productivity tools, or managing websites, there's a good chance Google will be involved somewhere. And after their recent years taking over the smartphone market with their Android operating system, they have now announced Project Glass, a wearable computer built into a pair of glasses. |
