The World Wide Web was conceived on March 12, 1989 by computing legend Tim Berners-Lee

Is that a dial-up modem ringing in your ears, or are you just looking at today’s Google Doodle? It might be both, because March 12 marks a special moment in the history of the internet — the birthday of the World Wide Web.

The series of tubes we know and love as the web is now a sprightly 30 years old. The www you see in your browser’s address bar when you access a URL, a.k.a. the web, a.k.a. what helps keep you tethered to your screens, is barely a millennial; indeed, the web is 18 years younger than email, and two years younger than the GIF.

Wondering what the difference is between the world wide web and the internet? Rethinking your ability to explain what the web actually is? Strap in, because the answers are fun and inspiring, and there’s no time like a birthday to time travel through internet history

I remember the dial up modem. We thought we were such hot shit, all edgy and computer geeky when we heard that sound and it would take some time to kick in. Now we're annoyed when we don't have instant access and there better not be any noise. Hard to believe it's only been here 30 years. What did we do before? Anxious
