Dotcoms Now Old Enough To Rent A Car
Happy 25th anniversary of the first dotcom registration! Yes, it was on this day back in 1985 that Symbolics computers claimed the initial address on the Internets. And now? Take it away, some technology guy.
"It used to be, 10 years ago you could live an okay life if you weren't engaged on a dot com site on a daily basis. You could get what you needed.
But today we see how dotcoms have enriched our lives that if you are not engaged you would be fine but much further behind than the rest of us."
Woo hoo! That sure puts me in a celebratory mood. I can only imagine how much better things are going to get as we move forward!
I can no longer achieve a dot.org.
I think you mean asm.org, whichn is less fun than it sounds.
Meanwhile, theawl.com is just about old enough to take its first steps…
I'm old. How old? I once visited every website in the world in an afternoon (there were about 60).
HA, I remember that day! I didn't get to all 60 because my 9600K modem was too slow.
Also, I had very important work to do on GOPHER.
How fantastic would it be to go back in time and destroy the web so that we would all call the internets the gophers now? It's a series of GOPHER TUNNELS.
Is this really the party?
