Celebrate
10,000 days of the
world wide web
with a
trip down memory lane
July 28 marks the
10,000th day since the birth of the
world wide web. Happy birthday! You don’t look a day over 9,999.*
It all started back on March 12, 1989, *when Tim Berners-Lee
submitted a proposal for an information system at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). That information system is **w k**wn as the
world wide web, and we are its humble servants. *

Seeing as it’s been officially
10,000 days since the web sprang to life and became our sentient overlord (give it time), we better join in the
celebrations. And what better way to mark the occasion than
with a collection of things to remind our online selves how young we really are. Things that feel like they were created yesterday, but at the same time, seem like a
world (wide web) away – as if they were spat out of the *web's hive mind in a fever dream. Prepare yourselves.*
