  • The World Wide Web Is 20 Years Old Today

    Our Comments

    The WWW has revolutionised the way information is transferred and has changed the life of many, including lads at ITProPortal.com, forever. The days of 56K modem where egg timers were a familiar sight are long gone. Having a service like Youtube or Spotify was near science-fiction. The world wide web on the whole has matured considerably and will almost certainly look distinctly different in 10 years time.
