A Time of Magic

Just when would you mark the change of year on the Internet?

If it’s the “Internet” then I suppose arguably it should be the time in Washington DC as that’s where the US Department of Defense is based and they’re the people who kicked off the Internet way back in the early 1960s (yes, that long ago).

On the other hand, nothing much happened ’til the World Wide Web was invented by a British guy (Tim Berners-Lee) working in CERN just outside Geneva so perhaps it’s Central European Time that we should all be using? (You can see the very first web server there)

Whenever it is Happy New Year!
