Inter..what?! Of all the days listed to celebrate today, I have to choose Internaut day, it celebrates me! It probably celebrates you, too. Do you know what this is? Hint: I am one due to my devotion to computers and the subsequent plethora of devices that I use to immerse, gorge, and “surf” myself on that oh so amazing Internet daily. Technically the definition of an Internaut (seen left): a frequent or habitual user of the internet… i.e., a geek. I am proud of that moniker, but I must say I think Internaut is a bit classier sounding. You probably know the internet wasn’t built in a day, so today and this term is a creation of CNN… yep it debuted on a news broadcast. In fact, the first thought of a world wide web was only 33 years ago by a CERN scientist’s proposal. With a lot of thought and discussion, which includes many significant dates, the web went public in 1991! Whereas the actual source code was not available to the public until 1993. It is mind blowing what has happened to it in only 33 years. The great thing is that now the Internet, and its devices, are shorting the incubation time for many other things that benefit our daily lives. But the Internet wouldn’t be anything without us Internauters… or is it Internautites… or Internautists… or is it just Internauts? Or you can always play Google’s Interland game with Internaut.
