Thank you Tim Berners Lee

Thank you Tim Berners Lee by pashasha.
On this day...in 1991:
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, introduces WorldWideWeb, the first practical web browser.

The first version, which Berners-Lee completed on Christmas Day 1990 using a NeXT computer, was released first to a group of physicists, and its use spread outward from there.

WorldWideWeb, later renamed Nexus in order to avoid confusing it with the World Wide Web, was the first program to use both the file transfer protocol and hypertext transfer protocol, another Berners-Lee invention. HTTP simplified the linkup between client and server, making the transfer of text and images a more seamless process and facilitating the growth of the web.

------------------

Though ... I wonder what I would be doing today if it weren't for computers. All these screens ALL the time can work their "unmagic" too...
