Writer Fox Releases List of 100 Quotes about the Internet for WWW Birthday
Writer Fox posts online list of 100 Quotes about the Internet to celebrate the 21st WWW Birthday.
- (1888PressRelease) December 14, 2011 - Web content writer, Writer Fox, uploaded a collection of over 100 quotes about the Internet today, in celebration of the 21st Birthday of the World Wide Web.
Born on December 25, 1990, the World Wide Web has been the 'gift that keeps on giving' to the world. Originating at CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland), the World Wide Web was the invention of Tim Berners-Lee.
A physicist by training, Berners-Lee says, "I invented the Web just because I needed it, really, because it was so frustrating that it didn't exit."
Executive Chairman of Google Eric Schmidt has said, "If this were a traditional science, Berners-Lee would win a Nobel Prize. What he's done is that significant."
"The online collection of quotations is a tribute to Berners-Lee, to those who invented and continue to invent the technology for our Web connections, and to those who use the World Wide Web," says Writer Fox.
In just two decades, the Web now connects 25% of the global population, almost 2 billion users. It has become a necessary part of personal and business life in the free world.
News mogul Rupert Murdoch is fond of saying, "The Internet has been the most fundamental change during my lifetime and for hundreds of years. Someone the other day said, 'It's the biggest thing since Gutenberg,' and then someone else said, 'No, it's the biggest thing since the invention of writing.'"
Now interchangeable with the word 'Internet,' the Web has matured with the children born 21 years ago - a generation which has reached maturity, never knowing a time without the World Wide Web.
Harvard Law School Professor John Palfrey is quoted in the Writer Fox collection, "It's not about being digital. It's about students who are born digital."
"The collection of Internet Quotes documents the profound and the ordinary," says Writer Fox. For those in the forty-something age group, these quotations are a walk down memory lane. People who joined the WWW experience early on will find the nostalgia and the astonishment of the journey through Cyberspace.
"I hope that the online collection will be interactive, and that many will add their favorites to the list," said Writer Fox. Quotations may be added by anyone in the comment section on the webpage, or through the email contact on the site.
Writer Fox encourages people to add quotes about their personal experience with the World Wide Web, "Each voice on the Web, no matter how small, speaks of this era to the next generation and says, 'quorum párs magna fui ' - ' in which I played a great part.'"
