The Transformation of Intenet Servers

Today’s interesting blog deals with the evolution of the World Wide Web, which the interactive picture (below) was put together thanks in part to Hyperakt. We of course began our journey with the first “Server” which was Mosaic in 1993. The next one to form was “Netscape” in 1995. Both of these quickly became outdated however, and thus were soon replaced with the ever-timeless Internet Explorer around 1997 (Which people still use today…on occasion). Then the now dearly departed Steve Jobs came along from Apple, and wanted his own serving network… so he developed Safari in 2003. In the past few years, Mozilla Firefox in 2005, and Google Chrome (2010) were developed, and now have begun to take over our Internet servers and how we use the Internet today. The same is said for how the Internet has developed overtime, with the using of codings and encryptions. The Internet codes used to be primarily CSS. Then they became HTML’s. Now suddenly we are seen using a lot of JavaScript, interchangeable web fonts, and the soon to be more usable, thanks to an uptake technology and 3D devices, Web GL.

Unfortunately, the days of the Internet before circa 1998 are ahead of my time. And since I didn’t even start using the Internet regularly until around 2004, I’d say that the evolution of what servers and Internet providers we come across to gain access to the World Wide Web will continue to grow and industrialize/revolutionize our culture for years to come.
