Restoring the Original Web with Cian O'Luanaigh and Dan Noyes
Wednesday, September 24, 2014 - 9:30am
It's a normal thing to make a website and keep changing it. Usually the older versions kinda disappear into the ethers. We don't do a very good job planning for archives. We just make the new thing, delete the old one, and move forward.
That was even true of the very first website. And the very first web server. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the very beginning of the invention of the web. So a few folks at CERN, the place where the web was born, have been working over the year to find and restore the original website, the original web server, and the first widely-distributed web browser. Two of the people leading these projects, Cian O'Luanaigh and Dan Noyes will come on the show to tell us all about it.
