Abstract

The last 20 years has seen the bir th and rise of the Web at an astronomical pace. We ha ve witnessed the bir th of the Information Age, equal in magnitude to the transition to the modern wo rld from the Middle Ages. We do everything dif ferentl y. Just as Gutenberg’s printing press allo wed the accumulated knowledge of the human race to reach every person who could read, the Web extends this knowledge to ever yone with access to a computer. This book is meant to be an accessible introduction to the his tory of the We b, but we wo uld not ha ve the Web if it we re not for the internet. In fact, we don’t get to the invention of the Wo rld Wide Web until idea 21, the preceding ideas lay its foundations. So this is not only a book of ideas that changed the We b, it also includes those that led to its creation. MLA (Modern Language Assoc.) Boulton, Jim. 100 Ideas That Changed the Web.
