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:

Info.cern.ch was the address of the world’s first-ever web site and web server, running on a NeXT computer at CERN. The first web page address was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html, which centred 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 are no screenshots of this original page and, in any case, changes were made daily to the information available on the page as the WWW project developed. You may find a later copy (1992) on the World Wide Web Consortium website.

Now this thread makes me feel old. I remember when my 6 floppies came in the mail so I could setup my first internet access. Where would we be without it? Can anyone even imagine not having it anymore?

I could live without it, I've been weeks without it and I really didn't think about it. I'd rather have internet then not, but I don't think it would effect me as much as most, I don't really use social networking sites that much, just for a mass message once in a blue moon, and even news I could just get from a newspaper or tv. I am of course a bad ***.

I could certainly live without social networking, but it's nice to have the internet to look up anything you need.

I'd just make it up like I use to do. Lol.

You wouldn't miss Netflix, GG? You wouldn't miss... me? =[

Who could live without the pronz?

I went almost two whole months without any internet. I asdf realized that the only thing I really need it for is E-mail. Couldn't be where I am today without it.
