Congratulations, netizens of the world!

If you are reading this, you are a Internet user , occasional or more or less frequent, and if you are doing it August 23 , you should know-if not You know it already-this is your day, Internet Day , so let us congratulate you.

Yes, it is true.It seems that there is currently a "world day" for almost everything, even for bath towels.But this Internet Day has a reason, as El Pais reminds us.And it is that It was on August 23 of 1991 when the so-called World Wide Web (WWW) was opened to the world, so in this 2016 marks 25 years of that moment that changed the world.Reason for more to remember as noted ephemeride and also the British Tim Berners-Lee, who created the germ of what we know today as the Internet from the commission of the European Organization for the Nuclear Research (better known as CERN ) to devise a system that would allow to share information with scientists around the world .

And since then nothing has been the same: our way of seeing life, of communicating, of doing business, of training...That is why we could not stop echoing this celebration and, borrowing some of the curiosities that The Country mentions in its article, to thank that the WWW was not baptized as The Information Mine; remember that WWW and the Internet are not the same, although we tend to use both terms as a synonym; discover that the first website was, of course, info.cern.ch...

Oh, and of course, that if today we call ourselves Internet users is thanks to the combination of the Internet and navigator terms (from Latin «nauta» and from ancient Greekναύτης (nautes)), that's why that we immerse ourselves and travel anywhere in the world through the network.That you know that there are more than 3,200 million people that you can congratulate today, as Internet users, according to a study I published recently Facebook with figures of 2015.It is already taking time to transmit your parabienes.Internet, fortunately, makes it easy for you.
