The best games of this year as voted by you.
On Christmas Day 1990, the first web browser was born WorldWideWeb. This undoubtedly revolutionary software was created by Tim Berners-Lee on his computer with the NeXTSTEP operating system. Little did Tim know at the time that he had laid the foundation stone for the use of the future World Wide Web, which few of us can imagine living without. Unless they are dancing ritual dances around the fire.
Few people remember the first browser under the name WorldWideWeb, it was shortly renamed to Nexus in order to avoid confusion with the emerging standard WWW or World Wide Web. The WorldWideWeb browser was the first app that allowed users to access Internet content, but it was also able to easily create and edit html pages of the time.
The WorldWideWeb browser was created on NeXT Computer, a company founded by Steve Jobs. However, the first browser was not the only one born on this opera. Iconic games such as Doom or Quake were also developed on this system.
Thanks to the emulator, you can try out how simple the Internet used to be and how complex or simple it was to browse content. It’s pretty funny to see how far we’ve come in almost 35 years and how these technologies have moved forward. Personally, I have never experienced such an Internet before, and trying it out is a real experience.
