25 interesting facts about the Web on its 25th birthday
(MARCH 12, 2014 ALICE YEHIA)

To celebrate its anniversary, here are 25 interesting facts that outline its history, present impact
and the way its shaping our future.

1. In March 1989, British engineer and scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee, now director of the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C), wrote a proposal for what would become the World Wide Web.
2. Berners-Lee received a knighthood in 2004 from Queen Elizabeth II.
3. The launch of the Mosaic web browser in 1993 is considered a turning point in the history of
the WWW. The graphical browser was developed by a team at the National Center for
Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois. Mosaic is credited for popularising the
WWW.
4. Internet and Web are commonly mistaken for the same thing. While the Internet refers to the
networking infrastructure that connects millions of computers across the world, the WWW is the
collection of text pages, music, files, digital photographs and animation which users can access
over the Internet. The Web represents only one part of the Internet.
5. The first website to ever go online was on August 6, 1991, http://info.cern.ch.
6. According to Netcraft, there are now more than 227 million websites, containing 65 billion web
pages.
7. In the West, the average digital birth (the age at which a child first has an online presence) is
around six months old. This is because parents email pictures to their friends of their new baby
and post up photos online.
8. There are more devices connected to the Web than living human beings.
9. World Wide Web was finalized as the name of the project, after it was preferred over
Information Mesh, Mine of Information and Information Mine.
10. The use of www as a subdomain name is not required by any technical or policy standard. In
fact, the first ever web server was called nxoc01.cern.ch.
11. In the 1990s, Bill Gates reportedly said that an Internet browser was a trivial piece of software.
He later launched one of the most famous web browsers of all time Internet Explorer.
12. Google was the most visited website in 2013, but 10 years ago it was Myspace and AOL
making history.
13. According to figures by W3Tech, over half of webpages are written in English, down from
56.4 per cent in 2002, as other languages are growing more popular online.
14. The web has changed the way ordinary people can become famous, CNN argues. The majority
of todays celebrities owe their fame to their web presence.
15. According to a report from Latitude, 60 per cent of people admit that they have a better opinion
about a brand depending on the website experience they offer.
16. Most things built on the web are neither open nor free. Platforms have built fortunes from
exploiting the facilities offered by the web. The only exception is Wikipedia.
17. When Tim Berners-Lee submitted his proposal, his boss was the first of many people who
didnt get it initially. His manager described the web as vague but interesting.
18. Berners-Lee uploaded the first photo on the Web in 1992, an image of the CERN house band
Les Horribles Cernettes.
19. The famous sites Amazon, Twitter and eBay almost had different names. Amazon was
supposed to be named Cadabra, Twitter was almost Jitter, while eBay could have been known
as echobay.
20. Archie is considered the worlds first Internet search engine. It was used as a tool for indexing
FTP archives, allowing people to find specific files.
21. The Web has a huge impact on the environment, as it is largely powered by big server farms
located around the world that need massive quantities of electricity for computers. Nobody really
knows the webs overall environmental impact.
22. It is the fastest growing communication medium of all time, taking four years to reach the first
50 million people, compared to radio (38 years) and television (13 years).
23. The term surfing the Internet was coined by Jean Armour Polly in 1992.
24. Although anyone can launch a website, the majority of the top 100 websites are run by
corporations, with the only big exception being Wikipedia.
25. In 1945, American engineer Vannevar Bush suggested in an article for The Atlantic, a system
called memex into which people would compress and store information. Wholly new forms of
encyclopaedias will appear, ready made with a mesh of associative trails running through them,
he said.

40 Interesting World Wide Web Facts
(BY SANKALAN BAIDYA PUBLISHED MAY 20, 2015 UPDATED AUGUST 16, 2016)

1. The World Wide Web (or simply the Web) and Internet are not the same things though we have
a tendency of using them interchangeably (as we did in the opening paragraph). Web refers to
collection of animations, digital photos, files, music, text pages etc. The Internet on the other hand
refers to networking infrastructure responsible for connecting millions of computers and other
devices all over the world. Thus, Web is essentially a subset of Internet.
2. Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist and engineer wrote a proposal in 1989 that eventually
became the World Wide Web.
3. Today, Sir Tim Berners-Lee is the director of the W3C or the World Wide Web Consortium.
4. Berners-Lee received his knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in year 2004.
5. The first ever website to go online is still online. It can be found
here: http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html. This website was built in 1991.
6. The first readily accessible browser to be built for the web was the line-mode browser. It was
created in 1992.
7. Berners-Lee used his NeXT Computer to invent the Web. That computer was worlds first web
server. That computer is still available at CERN.
8. Can you guess the number of websites online today? Well, we are a tad below 1 Billion mark.
As of now, there are 945,357,100 websites online (excluding the number of inactive websites).
You can find the live figure here.
9. There are more devices in this world that are connected to the Internet than there are number of
human beings living on Earth.

10. The launch of Mosaic web browser in 1993 is today considered to the turning point for the
Web. Mosaic is today credited for making the Web popular.
11. The Mosaic was worlds first graphical web browser and was developed by a team at
University of Illinois National Center for Supercomputing applications.
12. Several names were suggested for the finalized project (The Project refer to point number 5).
Information Mine, Mine of Information, Information Mesh and World Wide Web were the
suggested names and the final one was selected over the other names.
13. Berner-Lees boss was one of the many people who didnt really understand the concept of
Lees proposal. His boss described his project as vague but interesting.
14. The first image to be ever uploaded on the Web was of CERN house band known as Les
Horribles Cernettes. That photo was uploaded in 1992.
15. Jean Armour Polly was the person to coin the term surfing the Internet. He came up with the
term in 1992.
16. The Web or the Internet (whatever you prefer calling it) became worlds fastest growing
medium of communication. It took only 5 years for the web to achieve first 50 million users as
opposed to 13 years required by television and 38 years required by radio.
17. Archie is often dubbed as the first Internet search engine of the world. Archie was actually a
tool that was designed for indexing FTP archives so that people could easily find specific types of
files they were looking for.
18. The US programmer named Ray Tomilinson was the first person to invent the email system.
He sent the first ever email in 1971. This claim has however been challenged by Indian-born
scientist named Shiva Ayyadurai (a bio-scientist based in United States) who claims that
Tomilinson only invented primitive form of text messaging and that the actual email was invented
by Ayyadurai himself in 1978 when he was 14 years old. Read the full report here.
19. Google didnt really come up with gmail. Gmail.com was in fact a free email service offered
by Garfield (the famous cartoon cat character). Google simply acquired gmail.
20. The first ever webcam that was used was not for chatting. It was meant for monitoring a coffee
maker to ensure that people would not walk down to the coffee maker only to find that the pot was
empty. The webcam was deployed at the computer lab of Cambridge University.
21. MP3 was already invented in 1991 but Napster the first ever music file sharing service was
developed and put online in 1998.
22. It was the same year (i.e. 1998) that Google was launched.
23. The first ever emoticon to be used was in 1979 by Kevin Mackenzie. It looked like this: -).
This emoticon was however not like a face. Three years later in 1982, Scott Fahlman introduced
the emoticon :-), which became the norm.
24. According to Google, there are over 5 million Terabytes of data spread all across the Internet
and the search engine giant has managed to index on 0.04% of the that.
25. The first ever banner ad to be used on Internet was in 1994. It was for AT&Ts You Will
campaign. The ad was placed on homepage of HotWired.
26. An engineer named Steve Wilke was the person who invented the GIF image format in 1987.
27. Today (20th of May, 2015) the Internet is exactly 8688 days old!
28. In 1978, Gary Thuerk was the first person to send worlds first SPAM email using ARPNET
(the precursor of Internet).
29. The first ever domain to be registered was symbolics.com. It was registered on 15th March
1985 and is still active today.
30. The entire Internet can be copied in 1 billion DVDs or 200 million Blu Ray discs.

Diego Zoo. The video was uploaded on 23rd April, 2005.
32. Approximately 250 billions emails are sent everyday. Interestingly 81% of these emails are
spam.
33. Jack Dorsey Twitter founder twitted the first tweet on 21st March, 2006. The tweet he sent
was just setting up my twttr.
34. 80% of all images found on Internet are of naked women.
35. One-third of all Internet searches everyday are about porn.
36. Advertising revenue earned by Google is higher than the revenue earned by the entire print
industry of United States.
37. Amazon, eBay and Twitter were supposed to have different names. Amazon was supposed to
be named as Cadabra, eBay was supposed to be echobay and Twitter was supposed to be Jitter.
38. Before the Web came into existence and made way for porn industry, people actually used to
trade ASCII Porn over the Internet precursor during the 70s and the 80s.
39. The technology that led to the invention of Internet began at MIT in 1960s.
40. The first ever message that was transmitted using the Internet precursor was LOG. The user
actually tried sending the word LOGIN but the enormous data load of letter G crashed the entire
network.

10 Fascinating Facts About the World Wide Web on Its 25th Birthday
(KIM LACHANCE SHANDROW, MARCH 12 2014)
Go figure out what that World Wide Web thing is. Ironically, that was my first newspaper
assignment. Im still trying to untangle the infinite tunneling intricacies of the Web all these years
later, even today on its 25th birthday. Its what I do for a job, which an old-school print journalist
like me might not even have if not for the web.
The idea for what would become the World Wide Web was proposed 25 years ago today on
a NeXT computer, on March 12, 1989. This threadbare, imageless cluster of text is what the first
web landing page looked like. It was nothing more than a white background with black words and
a smattering of blue hypermedia links to click on. No Google. No Twitter. No Facebook. They
were still years away.
There were, however, all of 17 subjects to peruse, along with the webs five-question inaugural
FAQ, written by none other than physicist Tim Berners-Lee, the man who conceptualized the
revolutionary information linking and sharing tool in a CERN office in Switzerland. (CERN is
short for the European Organization for Nuclear Research.)
The newborn web wasnt exactly riveting, but it was a start. The birth of a fascinating intangible
cultural force that matured into a churning virtual mass of some 4.1 billion pages, with countless
more coming online right now as you read this.
Its an understatement to say that the web has forever changed the way we live, work, play and
communicate, for better and for worse. I lean toward better.
So grab a slice of cake, send a hashtagged social media birthday card and check out these 10 cool
historical facts about the web on its 25th anniversary:
1. The Father of the web wants you to fight for its freedom. Berners-Lee, 58, is celebrating the
landmark anniversary of his pioneering collaborative communication protocol today by imploring
its users to defend its core principles of freedom, non-censorship, and net neutrality.
The vocal Edward Snowden supporter is calling for people to back a universal Internet Users Bill
of Rights. The Web We Want initiative sets out to establish personal user protections, including
many now routinely trampled upon by the NSA. The project also aims to expand the web to the
two-thirds of the world that still doesnt have access to it.
2. The Internets first website went online on Aug. 6, 1991. Berners-Lee and his fellow CERN
team members launched http://info.cern.ch with a landing page that only contained 153 words. It
defined the World Wide Web (W3) as a wide-area hypermedia information retrieval initiative
aiming to give universal access to a large universe of documents and contained 25 links to basic
additional information about the pioneering initiative.
3. Let freedom ring. On April 30, 1993, CERN announced that its World Wide Web technology
would be available to all for free. The public statement declared that the main components of the
webs structure were to remain in the public domain, giving anyone in the world freedom to use
them. CERN relinquishes all intellectual property rights to this code, both source and binary and
permission is given to anyone to use, duplicate, modify and distribute it, the historic statement
read.
4. You are now free to roam freely about the Internet. Archie, which is widely considered to
be the first-ever primitive search engine, went live in 1990. But a slew of others followed suit over
the following decade, including web crawling giants who still chug on strong today like Yahoo,
MSN, and, yes, the almighty Google.
5. Librarians surf, too. We have a New York librarian who calls herself Net-mom to thank for
the term Surf the Internet. Jean Armour Polly penned an article called Surfing the INTERNET
that was published in a University of Minnesota library bulletin in 1992. Some credit Mark
McCahill, the programmer behind an early web alternative called the Gopher protocol, for
dreaming up the phrase.
6. An all-girl band stars in the first ever picture posted online. Berners-Lee also boasts the
bragging rights to another awesome first: uploading the first photo to the web in 1992. It was a
picture snapped backstage of an all-girl physics-themed rock band called Les Horribles Cernettes,
which was founded in 1990 by a graphic designer at CERN. Berners-Lee scanned the photo,
uploaded it to a Mac and FTPd it to the now famous info.cern.ch. The web Berners-Lee invented
lives on, but the Cernettes broke up in 2012. Bummer.
7. Primitive browsers helped the web reach critical mass. NCSAMosaic, the webs first widely
used graphical browser is often credited with bringing the internet out of geeky obscurity. Marc
Andreessen and Eric Bina developed the iconic black, gray and blue browser at the University of
Illinois National Center for Supercomputing Applications in 1993. Before Mosaic, web users had
to slog through arduous, complicated character-based interfaces, like Lynx.
Netscape Navigator, which landed on the internet a year later on Dec. 15, 1994, also played a
momentous role in making the web accessible to the general public. (Remember that first
newspaper assignment I scored? I tackled my article research by drifting in a bottomless,
frustratingly slow-loading Netscape vortex for three weird hours. Good times.)
Mosaic may take the title for the first popular web browser, but the honor of the inaugural graphical
web browser belongs to ViolaWWW. The complex hypermedia browser, which only worked on
the X Windows System and Unix workstations, launched on March 9, 1992.
8. The internet is not the web and the web is not the internet. Dont get them twisted like most
people do, especially not if youre in Silicon Valley. The internet was a thing long before the web
and the web wouldnt exist without the internet. The internet, the roots of which can be traced as
far back to the invention of the modem in 1958, is a massive infrastructure that bridges millions
of computers throughout the globe. The World Wide Web is a vast system of interlinked hypertext
documents accessed on the internet.
9. Billions of people surf the web. Of the worlds 7.1 billion people, an estimated 2.4 billion
people go online today. Thats 37.7 percent of the worlds total population. About six out of seven
people across the globe have internet access. Approximately 70 percent of internet users surf the
web every day.
10. Americans rock the web the most. Users in the U.S. account for 78.6 percent of global web
usage, trailed by Australia (67.6 percent), Europe (63.2 percent), Latin America/Caribbean (42.9
percent), Middle East (40.2 percent), Asia (25.7 percent) and Africa (15.6). Surprisingly, some 24
nations remain completely offline.

25 things you probably didnt know about the Web
(2014-3-12 // BY IAN JACOBS)

The Web of today was built - and continues to be built - by everyone. Yet it owes much to many
people, some who came before its invention in 1989, and all those who have since then made it an
invaluable resource for humanity.
To celebrate 25 years of the Web we have gathered 24 facts about Tim Berners-Lee, the Web, the
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and the World Wide Web Foundation.
In the spirit of the Web, we want your input on what the 25th fact should be. Tell us on social
media with hash tag #web25fact.
1. Berners-Lee is the son of British mathematicians and computer scientists Mary Lee Woods
and Conway Berners-Lee, who worked on the first commercially-built electronic computer,
the Ferranti Mark 1.
2. In college, Berners-Lee built a computer out of an old television set.
3. The Web was not Berners-Lees first design for a system to link information. In 1980 he
wrote ENQUIRE, whose name came from a Victorian era how-to book called Enquire
Within Upon Everything owned by Berners-Lees parents while he was growing up. The
ENQUIRE code has been lost to history.
4. Before settling on the Web, Berners-Lee thought of the names Information Mesh, The
Information Mine, and Mine of Information.
5. The Web was first described in a March 1989 proposal from Berners-Lee while at CERN.
In it he wrote, In providing a system for manipulating this sort of information, the hope
would be to allow a pool of information to develop which could grow and evolve with the
organisation and the projects it describes. For this to be possible, the method of storage
must not place its own restraints on the information. This is why a web of notes with
links (like references) between them is far more useful than a fixed hierarchical system.
For even more about the people who inspired and built the Web, see Berners-Lees 2004
presentation How it all Started.
6. Mike Sendall, Berners-Lees manager at the time, commented on the original proposal
Vague, but exciting. Fortunately, Sendall thought enough of the proposal to allow
Berners-Lee to work on it on the side.
7. In 1990, Berners-Lee wrote the first browser and editor, called
WorldWideWeb.app, which ran on a NeXT computer. Steve Jobs had left Apple to
create NeXT Inc., and later returned to Apple.
8. WorldWideWeb.app, which took 2 months to write, was also an editor, so the earliest
vision of the Web was one where anyone could contribute.
9. The first Web site was info.cern.ch, hosted by CERN, on Tims desktop computer.
10. The early Web pages from 1992 were preserved by Berners-Lee and W3C, but CERN did
not serve them at theoriginal address until in April 2013.
11. A few simple ideas have played a key role in making the Web a success:
it is universal: it can be made to work with any form of data, on any device, with
any software, in any language. You can link to any piece of information
it is decentralized: anybody can create a site. This enabled the Web to grow quickly.
the core technology is royalty-free: because people can implement Web technology
royalty-free, this spurs innovation.
it is the result of global collaboration.
12. The Web is not the same thing as the Internet. The Internet protocols describe how to send
packets of information between pieces of software. The first Internet protocols were
defined in 1969. Since then, many applications have used them in different ways, including
Email, FTP, and the Web. The Web is any information that is identified with
a URL (Universal Resource Locator). That makes the URL the most fundamental piece of
Web technology.
13. The double slash // in URLs was an idea Berners-Lee copied from the Apollo
workstations domain file system. Microsoft later adopted double backslash \\ under the
same influence.
14. Although many Web site addresses start with www there is no requirement they begin
this way; it was just an early convention to help people recognize that someone was running
a Web server.
15. The WorldWideWeb browser was made available on on the public Internet by FTP, and
promoted on network news messages in August 1991. Other browsers soon followed,
including ViolaWWW, Midas, Erwise, and Samba. Mosaic, which later became Netscape,
was released in 1993. You can experience the early line mode browser that was released
in 1992 with a line mode browser emulator made available in 2013.
16. On 30 April 1993, CERN put WorldWideWeb in the public domain, a critical milestone in
enabling broad adoption of the Web.
17. In October 1994, Berners-Lee launched the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to
develop common standards for core Web technology. The goal of the organization is to
ensure the Web is available to all, and not fragmented into proprietary silos. Today four
 neutral academic organizations host the activities of the Consortium: MIT, ERCIM, Keio
University, and Beihang University.
18. In 2004, W3C adopted an industry-leading Royalty-Free patent policy to further Berners-
Lees vision of the Web as an open platform for innovation.
19. Berners-Lee was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2004. While some call him Sir Tim,
he most often goes by timbl.
20. In 2008, Berners-Lee launched the World Web Foundation. Its mission? To establish the
open Web as a global public good and a basic right, ensuring that everyone can access and
use it freely.
21. Today it is estimated that just under 40% of the worlds population has Internet access. On
average, a fixed broadband connection costs over a third of income in the developing world.
(Source: ITU)
22. The languages most used in online communications are, in order: English, Chinese,
Spanish, Japanese, and Portuguese.
23. Estimates of the number of Web pages vary greatly, but it is surely in the tens of billions.
Many estimates depend on what search engines access, but it is expected that many times
more public pages exist that are not indexed by search engines.
24. Internet live stats estimates that the number of Web sites will reach 1 billion by the end of
2014, this anniversary year.

29 Interesting Facts About The Internet You Really Need To Know
(May 16, 2017)
Short Bytes: Most of us can not imagine life without access to the internet for reasons ranging
from social networking to doing projects and collecting information. But, not all of us know about
many interesting facts about the internet and its usage. Here, we bring to you a list of 29 most
interesting internet facts that youll love.
From surfing to taking help from the internet for doing projects and collecting information, today
we find it difficult to imagine our life without the internet. But not many of us know these
interesting yet important facts about the internet.
So, lets have a quick look at it:
29 Awesome Internet Facts
1. Approximately 3.2 billion people use the internet. Out of this, 1.7 billion of internet users are
Asians. In fact, it is estimated that approximately 200 billion emails and 3 billion Google search
would have to wait if the internet goes down for a day.
2. China has treatment camps for internet addicts. 200 million Internet users in China are between
the ages of 15 and 35. Hence, it is most like that they lose self-control. Tao Ran, director of the
countrys first Internet addiction treatment clinic under a military hospital in Beijing said that 40%
of those addicted to the Internet suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
3. 30,000 websites are hacked every day. Highly effective computer software programs are used
by cybercriminals to automatically detect vulnerable websites which can be hacked easily.
4. First webcam was created at the University Of Cambridge to monitor the Trojan coffee pot. A
live 128128 grayscale picture of the state of the coffee pot was provided as the video feed.
5. Internet sends approximately 204 million emails per minute and 70% of all the emails sent are
spam. 2 billion electrons are required to produce a single email.
6. Gangnam Style by PSY is still the most viewed videos of all time with more than
2,840,000,000 views.
7. The internet requires 50 Million horsepower to keep running in the current state.
In 2005, the broadband internet had a maximum speed of 2 Megabits per second. Today, 100Mbps
download speeds are available in many parts of the country. But experts warn that science has
reached its limit and fiber optics can take no more data.
8. The first tweet was done on 21st March, 2006 by Jack Dorsey and the first YouTube video to
be uploaded was Meet At Zoo at 8:27 p.m. on Saturday, April 23, 2005, by Jawed Karim.
9. Approximately 9 Million adults in Britain and one-third of Italians have never used the internet.
Imagine that! While there are treatment camps for internet addicts in China, a vast population of
people has never used it till date.
10. The majority of internet traffic is not generated by humans, but by bots and malware.
According to a recent study conducted by Incapsula, 61.5% or nearly two-thirds of all the website
traffic is caused by Internet bots.
11. Youve heard the term surfing on the internet, right? Well, it originated in 1992, courtesy of
a New York librarian whose name was Jean Armour Polly. Even now, the term is used quite often,
but other words such as browsing have also become a popular addition.
12. Back in 2010, it was estimated that around 247 billion emails are sent in a single day. Fast
forward to 2017, statistics group called Radicati Group estimates that around 269 billion emails
are sent per day. Unfortunately, the majority of all them fall under the spam category.
13. The worlds first website is still alive and kicking. It does not come close to being glamorous
because all thats present is text and hyperlinks but the fact that it is still running is pretty
impressive.
14. The internet is now 10,000+ days old. If you want to keep an exact track of the counter, you
can always visit here and appreciate that you have access to free information anywhere and
everywhere.
15. Approximately 1.7 trillion worth of funds is spent online. If you ever counted the hours you
were online, you would definitely freak out.
16. Do you think the internet and World Wide Web mean the same thing? They are miles apart
actually. The internet is a network of computers, while the World Wide Web is a bridge for
accessing and sharing information across it.
17. Remember the Youve Got Mail website? Would you be surprised if we told you that it is still
running even after all this time?
18. The modern World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee was knighted by Queen Elizabeth.
Perhaps royalty does recognize greatness because remember, Anthony Hopkins was knighted too.
19. Ever care to wonder what was the first image to be uploaded by the inventor of the modern
day World Wide Web was? It was a joke band of women from the nuclear research lab CERN.
20. Let us bring some science into the equation; it takes around 2 billion electrons to produce a
single email. Now imagine millions of emails being sent in a single day. Thats definitely a lot of
electrons to be playing around with.
21. It is expected that around 40 billion gadgets are going to be connected to the internet by 2020.
That definitely does not sound good from a security point of view.
22. Online dating might sound like a dumb idea but wait till you hear the amount of revenue it is
generating. According to the latest statistic, online dating generates approximately $1 billion
dollars every year.
23. Want a reason to be jealous of South Korea and Japan? These countries have the best
internet right now because according to Akamai, the average bandwidth speed in these locations
is 22Mbps. In comparison, the average internet speed in the U.S. is 8.4Mbps.
24. However, Americans are experiencing a hefty level of internet penetration as approximately
78 percent of people living there use the internet. With English being the most popular language,
there should be no doubt in that statistic.
25. The queries that you search for are just a minuscule percentage of the internet and is often
referred to as the Surface Web. The remaining part is called Deep Web and it is much larger
