2) I saw some issue of Rolling Stone the other day that had an article about the guy who invented the World Wide Web. I had no idea what his name was. And actually, I still don't. How is it possible that here we have the World Wide Web, arguably the single biggest innovation of the last 50 years or more, and we have no idea who the inventor is but I have the name "Eli Whitney" branded on my fucking brain? I can't scratch my balls without hearing the name Robert Fulton, yet for all I know the dude who invented the World Wide Web could be in my "Where are all the Fuckpigs?" chat room and I'd have no idea. - XMASTIME*Today is apparently the 20th birthday of the World Wide Web, and you can see a slideshow of early images HERE, wherein you'll be reminded again to wonder how on Earth it's possible that Tim Berners-Lee is not a household name.
