Have a web site? Here's what made it possible!
Wired magazine notes that 25 years ago today the system of assigning web sites the .com address was tested. This was the significant event that allowed people using the web to type in an actual address instead of a string of numbers.
The impact? Well, trying having your customers remember 201.22.454.99 instead of www.ncwebnews.com. This also opened up the ability to organize the web into .com, .gov, .edu, .org, .biz, etc. These categories allow the physical number of addresses to grow as the internet explodes.
So happy birthday! Read more about this at wired.com.
