Comment Who created civilisation? (Score 1, Interesting) 497

The question is pointless. It's like asking who created society, or civilisation.

The WWW, however, now that's another story. I'd say CERN, Switzerland is to be held responsible for that. More specifically, Tim Berners-Lee, creator of HTTP 0.9, HTML, the first web browser, the first web server, and the first web pages.

Somewhat related, the first images to be served on the WWW is believed to be promotional shots for the parody pop group Les Horribles Cernettes.

Hm, good point. Perhaps back-up lights should come with back-up signalling horns by default? No, that'd be too annoying. But how about having very-short-range radio warning beacons in every back-up light, and have all hard-sighted people equipped with a receiver?

Somebody ought to cross ball point pens with coat hangers so that the pens will multiply instead of disappear.
