Okay we know...technically the web has been around since the 1960's (Arpanet) and even we've been browsing the online world via BBS services since 1989 on an 'old' Atari 1020ST and land line phone access. (ahem) But for most of us the world wide web as we know it- complete with browsers and search engines turned 25 years old this week. CP

There’s no better way to celebrate the web’s 25th birthday than by sharing on the web how much it’s meant to all of our lives. More coming soon. For the Silo, Derek Slater /Google.
