Today the world celebrates 25 years of Tim Burners-Lee creating the world wide web.
While the internet had its genesis in DARPA’s Arpanet and e-mail has been around for almost 40 years the World Wide Web is the basis for the communications tool that has changed the world.

It has made this blog and the trawling of world news possible. So please enjoy.
