Introduction

Introduction

My introduction to the World Wide Web was also the beginning of my relationship with the browser. The first browser I used was Mosaic, pioneered by Eric Bina and Marc Andreessen. Andreessen later co-founded Netscape and Loudcloud.

Shortly after I discovered the World Wide Web in 1995, I began to associate the wonders of the Internet with the simplicity of the browser. The browser was more than a software application that facilitated use of the World Wide Web: it was the World Wide Web. It was the new television! And just as television tamed distant video signals with simple channel and volume knobs, browsers demystified the complexities of the Internet with hyperlinks, bookmarks, and back buttons.
