The World Wide Web
Before there was a World Wide Web, searches on the InterNet involved tools such as gopher, ftp, and telnet—the original organized content sites of the InterNet.
All that changed with the advent of the World Wide Web in June of 1993. The WWW made searching for information much easier because it used a graphical interface. Most people do not have the skills or patience for gopher or telnet. Thus, when graphical browsers like Mosaic (beta, 1993) and Netscape (beta, 1994) arrived, they opened the door to the greatest revolution in information exchange since the printing press was invented in 1450. You are part of that interactive digital revolution.
