Internaut Day - August 23

By definition, 'Internaut' is a portmanteau of the words 'Internet' and 'astronaut' and refers to a designer, operator, or technically capable user of the Internet.

An internaut 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

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

Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989 while working at CERN



It was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automatic information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.

The World Wide Web forms an integral part of modern existence, but it was not until August 23, 1991 that its inventor, a British scientist at CERN, Tim Berners-Lee allowed its access to the general public - the non-technical people
