The FIRST EVER WEBSITE WAS PUBLISHED 20 years ago today (AUG 6, 1991)

[luminus]

It was August 6, 1991, at a CERN facility in the Swiss Alps, when 36-year-old physicist Tim Berners-Lee published the first-ever website. It was, not surprisingly, a pretty basic one — according to CERN. It centered on information regarding the WWW project. Visitors could learn more about hypertext, technical details for creating their own webpage, and even an explanation on how to search the Web for information.

There were no visitors.

I bet that no other invention has, contrary to the inventor's expectations, been used more for pornography. Unless the dildo was actually supposed to be a paperweight...
