The History of the Web

The source provides an extensive transcript from a YouTube video titled "The history of the web (Chrome University 2019)," featuring a presentation by Chris Wilson from Chrome for Developers. Wilson offers a personal history of the web, detailing its origins in the late 1980s and early 1990s when the internet was primarily text-based and email access was limited. He recounts his career, including co-writing the Windows version of NCSA Mosaic, the first mass-market browser, and his subsequent work at Microsoft on Internet Explorer during the browser wars. Wilson discusses key technological advancements, such as the implementation of CSS and the shift toward dynamically programmable web environments, while also reflecting on the importance of avoiding complacency and respecting the evolving platform and user experience.
