Tim Berners-Lee, director of the World Wide Web Consortium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1998 (© Elise Amendola/AP)(1991) Tim Berners-Lee weaves a worldwide wonder
British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee’s proposal for a ‘hypertext project’ comes to fruition at the CERN laboratories in Switzerland with the help of Belgian computer scientist Robert Cailliau, and now the ‘World Wide Web’ is opened to outside users.
The World Wide Web is a global information medium which users can read and write via computers connected to the Internet. The term is often mistakenly used as a synonym for the Internet itself, but the Web is a service that operates over the Internet, just as e-mail also does. The history of the Internet dates back significantly further than that of the World Wide Web. Web is the global information system.

1305 | Scotland’s brave-hearted leader William Wallace is put to death in London execution
After many victories over the English during his time fighting the Wars of Scottish Independence, Commander William Wallace has been defeated at the Battle of Falkirk, turned over to the English by Scottish knights, convicted of treason, and is now hanged, drawn, and quartered in London.
1942 | Battle of Stalingrad that will turn the tide of WWII begins
Hitler’s Sixth Army is poised to enter Stalingrad as the Nazi Luftwaffe begins bombing the Soviet city. This opening salvo to what some call the bloodiest battle in history will lead to the destruction of the Sixth Army, and the loss of some 2 million lives before the five-month onslaught is over.
1973 | ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ a bond forms between captives and captor
After police arrive, a bank robbery at Kreditbanken, in central Stockholm, turns into a hostage-taking and siege. Hostages will later tell of being more terrified of police activity than anything else, and the term ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ will be coined to explain the bond the captives felt with their captors.

deviantArt profile for GµårÐïåñ on deviantArt

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
