Happy Internau[gh]t Day!!!

Today is Internau[gh]t day. What the hell is an Internau[gh]t? Well that's you silly!

An Internau[gh]t is online savvy, typically through years of online experience, with a thorough knowledge of how to use search engines, Internet resources, forums, newsgroups and chat rooms to find information. The more someone knows about the Internet, its history and politics, the more likely the term internaut fits them. - Internaught.io

I never knew such a word existed up until I visted the website listed above, and equally, I never knew that the public internet was developed in CERN!

The Internaut day is celebrated on August 23, anniversary of the World Wide Web, which was developed in the CERN laboratories (Enquire / EV project) in Switzerland during 1989 - 1990, and opened to new users after that day in 1991.

Now, I am not sure about what you know about CERN, and maybe back then they were doing good, but now, I see no good in them whatsoever, and the transistion to the dark side is complete. Whether you believe the following video or not, there have been crazy events around CERN and the LHC that we cannot deny.

I digress. Happy Internau[gh]t Day everyday. Look at what we have created!
