Web 25: Histories from the First 25 Years of the World Wide Web
celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Web. Since the beginning of
the 1990s, the Web has played an important role in the development
of the Internet as well as in the development of most societies at
large, from its early grey and blue webpages introducing the
hyperlink for a wider public, to today's multifacted uses of the
Web as an integrated part of our daily lives. This is the first
book to look back at 25 years of Web evolution, and it tells some
of the histories about how the Web was born and has developed. It
takes the reader on an exciting time travel journey to learn more
about the prehistory of the hyperlink, the birth of the Web, the
spread of the early Web, and the Web's introduction to the general
public in mainstream media. Furthermore, case studies of blogs,
literature, and traditional media going online are presented
alongside methodological reflections on how the past Web can be
studied, as well as accounts of how one of the most important
source types of our time is provided, namely the archived Web. Web
25: Histories from the First 25 Years of the World Wide Web is a
must-read for anyone interested in how our online present has been
shaped by the past.
