Jane Austen finished writing Persuasion on this day in 1816, the sixth and final novel she completed in her lifetime. It was published posthumously after Austen died of a mysterious illness a year later. A new adaptation has recently premiered on Netflix.
The internet has been around for a lot longer, but 1991 is correct for the WWW. From his page on Wikipedia:
"Berners-Lee published the first web site, which described the project itself, on 20 December 1990; it was available to the Internet from the CERN network. The site provided an explanation of what the World Wide Web was, and how people could use a browser and set up a web server, as well as how to get started with your own website. On 6 August 1991, Berners-Lee first posted, on Usenet, a public invitation for collaboration with the WorldWideWeb project."
Uh, the WWW was created more than 20 years ago. Perhaps you meant 40?
