GUESS….the WORLD WIDE WEB …

GUESS….the WORLD WIDE WEB …

OK here are the rules; you cannot go online to find the answer…to easy.
This is a guess and no more…HONESTY is of the utmost in this thread. No Goggle, no DARPA employees can guess, in this… the weirdest game on the site.
There is no grand prize, there is no free pizza…. there is a good feeling for not using any resources to acquire the answer…JUST GUESS what month and year the world wide web went online and begin its storied rise to …well sites like FTE….
I have been asking around work, this same question… it is amazing the answers you get…

i think i heard once that the first use of the internet was a group of students at some college who used a program they made to monitor the coffee pot that was three stories below their study room.

i could be mistaken(i usually am) but my guess would be december 1986.

I have not looked any lower than this message and have not searched the net.

The original internet (not WWW) went live in January 1972 (this is a guess). The WWW (graphical version, first HTTP browser) in July 1989. The first browser was Mozila.

OK, now I have to check and see how I did. I hope the answer is posted....

Hmmmm. Someone needs to post the "real" answer. I guess I could go watch the PBS series "Revenge of the Nerds" by Bob Kringly, I know they gave the answer on those tapes and I have watched it before. I know I am close!
