Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

Very First Webpage shared today on it’s 20th Anniversary!

ceRNTwenty years ago today (April 30, 2013), physicists at CERN opened the World Wide Web to everyone with a simple web page.  The actual page is long gone, but CERN has recreated it here in honor of the 20th anniversary.  The Washington Post Tech Section highlighted the Anniversary by saying:

The Web site itself isn’t much to look at — just a rundown of the product that includes a look at its development history, instructions of how to create your own pages and technical information about the World Wide Web — but it laid the groundwork for an estimated 630 million Web sites to come in the next 20 years, CERN said in a blog post. – Hayley Tsukayama, The Washington Post.
