Washington Post Article About How Naked Women Shaped the Internet

Read all about it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/poste...=.5ab7bef4369f

From the article:
"On Aug. 6, 1991, Tim Berners-Lee posted to a newsgroup with the subject heading ?WorldWideWeb: Summary,? describing his new invention in the most prosaic of terms. ?To follow a link, a reader clicks with a mouse,? he wrote. ?To search and index, a reader gives keywords.?

The Web browser that accompanied this launch was text-only. Two years later, Mosaic became the first browser to display images inline ? that is, right next to the text, rather than having to be downloaded in a separate window.

Berners-Lee was displeased with this development. Now, he said, people were going to start posting pictures of naked women.

He wasn?t wrong."
