Amazon used to be a large river in South America - but that was before the world wide web.
This month the web is 15 years old and in that short time it has revolutionised the way we live, from shopping to booking flights, writing blogs to listening to music.
Here, the Observer's Net specialist charts the web's remarkable early life and we tell the story of the 15 most influential websites to date |

so winky :shock: are you saying that the Amazon River isnt there anymore? its been replaced by a book shop?? :shock:
seriously though, I think its fantastic how far things have come in such a relatively short time. I cant even remember what we did before computers and the web :roll: but thats coz im old and dementia probably setting in, cant remember yesterday most of the time :cry:
Now instead of phoning or writting letters to family and 'pen friends' we have them all listed in 'friends' or 'family' on our yahoo or msn messengers :lol: and I for one have them all over the world as I assume most of us do. Hey we dont even have to meet to fall out or fight now days, we just do it in chat rooms or forums :smt064
wait till MY website is up and running :smt082 |
