Happy Internaut Day!
People all over social media refer to August 23 as “Internaut Day.” The name is a combination of the word “internet” and “nauta”—Greek for traveler.
British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee, not Al Gore, conceived the idea of the World Wide Web and is credited as the first person to give the public access to the web. Problem is, he celebrates on March 12, 1989, the first day he submitted his proposal for a new information management system.
Whatever the date, the web has given rise to the Internet that we know and love today.
The first web page ever created is still out there and is actually a holding page which explains what the World Wide Web is and it has all sorts of technical details on how it was built.
Today more than a billion active websites are thriving.
